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, as I think we should, but transparency without recourse can be problematic.
I think anyone, or perhaps any group of people, should be able to appeal IAD actions to the IAOC.
the chain of appeal could be either:
a. the normal iaoc-iesg-iab-isoc bot
b. iaoc - a joint iab/iesg appeals committee (that excluded iaoc members) set up to hear the appeal - isoc bot
c. an abbreviated chain iaoc-isoc bot
As for the IAOC, I believe their actions should be appealable as well and should use the same chain as an IAD appeal.
a.
