harald proposes: 3.5 Decision review In the case where someone questions a decision of the IAD or the IAOC, he or she may ask for a formal review of the decision. The request for review is addressed to the person or body that made the decision. It is up to that body to decide to make a response, and on the form of a response. The IAD is required to respond to requests for a review from the IAOC, and the IAOC is required to respond to requests for a review of a decision from the IAB or from the IESG. If members of the community feel that they are unjustly denied a response to a request for review, they may ask the IAB or the IESG to make the request on their behalf. Answered requests for review and their responses are made public. I am still worried about the possibility of a DoS attack and the messy situation where the looser in a bid wants the bid award overturned so would be happier with some language that says that its real hard or impossible to overturn signed contracts but that said I can live with what Harald suggests if no one else shares my worries Scott _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
