Harald sez:
if "decisions of the IAOC can be appealed" rather reads:

If someone believes that the IAOC has violated the IAOC rules and
procedures, he or she can ask the IETF leadership to investigate the
matter, using the same procedure as is used for appeals of procedural
issues in the IETF, starting with the IESG.
If the IESG, IAB or the ISOC BoT find that procedures are violated, they
may advise the IAOC, but does not have authority to overturn or change a
decision.
this sort of wording halps deal with the worry I had in that an appeal
will not stop the IETF from working and restricts the appeals to
those that relate to violating "rules and procedures" and does not
support the idea of allowing an appeal of a decision to hire
a particular vendor just because someone did not like the vendor
or thought they could do something cheaper
True, but it still leaves the field rather open - are you sure we shouldn't
include a limitation to matters affecting the standards process?
