Personal view:
Nice idea, and would certainly be popular with the arbitrators - but it 
needs something to replace it that's slightly more complex than a 
dispute resolution noticeboard. It's nice to see the WMF taking over 
some of the more unpleasant roles that ArbCom does, but we then have no 
real way of desysopping someone, no centralised way of vetting 
checkusers or recording alternate accounts, and no way to deal with 
problems that involve private information. There's also the problem that 
DRNs tend to end up like ANI after a while, and ANI sometimes has 
trouble solving problems in an even-handed, considered manner.
