Well,
A letter of complaint requires no response unless there is something that formalizes the requirement of response.
And if there is no procedure indicating that the IAOC needs to pay attention to a letter of complain, that decision, i.e the one to ignore letters of complain, cannot be appealed.
So, as I see it, without a formalized process of complaint/appeal of IAD actions we are left with no avenue to deal with problems other then by the yearly nomcom process and the IETF list.

Since when would you not be allowed to send an email/complaint to the IAOC ??
I guess you meant to say that there is not "formal way" to do so,
yeah, that is what i explicitly said.
but we're all adults and we CAN communicate, can we not?
what does being an adult have to do with it?
I don't understand. The issue is that there is no way to make the IAOC take notice of the communication.
I.e. I do not see why we would need to make a formal procedure for this.
Because the lack of formalization leaves the IETF community without a means to appeal decisions. And this decreases the level of accountability.
And of the things I thought that were driving the entire AdminRest process was the need for transparency and accountability. And as I understand accountability in the IETF, it involves handling appeals from the IETF community.
