Waiting to start RIPE-174 Arbitration

We want to start a an Arbitration process based on RIPE-174 to resolve a dispute with another LIR. I have already sent the request to initiate the process via the RIPE hostmaster route...which seems to be the intended route.

The thing is, it seems that to *start* the process, we have to go through the same wait Q as normal hostmaster requests...adding another 1-2 weeks to a process that can already take up to 12 weeks.

Is there a quicker way to initiate the process?

Thanks

Phil
