OK, I am open to the idea. And I suppose that the current appeal mechanisms would allow it. But in that case I do have a problem with making the barrier higher for appeals originating from a non IOAC member. While I can see arguments for not removing an IAOC's member's right of appeal, I don'

Brian, thanks for providing some scenarios here. Very helpful for those of us who haven't been on IESG/IAB/ISOC BoT, and are trying to visualize what the words mean. I think Harald's followup is helpful here - the existing IESG/IAB are already part of the "appeals from the community" food chain

I agree with Joel, I think. The IAD is a manager. When you disagree with a manager's decision, you complain to the next manager up (the IAOC). We don't need to write that down. The IAOC is a community appointed body - so we do need a community process; that's either a recall, or posibly a restricte

Agree with Joel here. I would hate to see someone "appeal" an IAD decision because they happened to disagree with it. That would make the job impossible. There probably are some things that should be subject to appeal. I don't know what they would be. If we can not list them, I don't think we

On what kinds of grounds should such things be appealable? For WG decisions, there can be appeals based on technical grounds or procedural grounds. The ISOC however may only here pure procedural appeals. I would hate to see someone "appeal" an IAD decision because they happened to disagree with

I tend to feel that both the decisions of the IAD and of the IAOC should be appealable. My thinking tends toward thinking that anyone should be able to appeal the decision, or any practice including the accounting practices, of the IAD. I believe we are defining high standards of transparency,

The awarding of a contract to a vendor is an IAD decision, and as written, IAD decisions are not appealable. The decision that could be appealed is the IAOC's approval of the IAD decision - a subtle difference, but an important one; the appeal would have to be based on arguing that the IAOC did
