Harald suggests: ------------------------------------------------------ 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. ------------------------------------------------------- why not make public all requests (i.e. remove "Answered" from the last line) I still feel that this leaves things too open (specifically it does not set expectations about the possible results of a review ) to a DoS attack but as I said before I can live with this as-is.
