I agree.  In decreasing order of preference:

1) Allow decisions to be appealed but allow the bodies to which
   appeals are made quickly decide not to accept an appeal and to
   establish procedures for avoiding being swamped with appeals.

2) Allow appeals to be made but set some bar for an appeal; perhaps
   appeals from IAOC members are always accepted, but appeals from the
   community require say 10 signatures.

3) Significantly limit appeals process; restrictions on only
   appealing process issues, appeals are advisory, etc.


I'd rather end up having to revise the appeals process because it is a
denial of service than to regret not having the mechanism when it is
needed.

We do probably want text in the document that makes it clear decisions
cannot be overturned once steps like signing contracts or hiring
people have happened.
