Trying to close this item, which is not resolved in the -04 draft:
I believe that the list discussion has converged on very rough consensus (Sam and Avri being the people who worry that we're building a DoS attack defense that we don't need, but Brian, Scott and John Klensin, at least, strongly arguing that we need that mechanism) on the following text, which I suggested on Jan 13, replacing the last 3 paragraphs of section 3.4:
------------------------------------------------------
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. ------------------------------------------------------- Can we live with this?
