Hmm. I think this bothers me a lot unless a) unsuccessful bidders and their agents and b) unsuccessful job candidates
are explicitly excluded. Otherwise, every time the IASA awards a contract or hires somebody, they are exposed to public attack by the unsuccessful.
In general, people do not choose to raise a public stink when they are not hired for a job or are not chosen as a contractor, perhaps due to a lack of desire to air those facts in public.
But, if we do have someone who wants to raise a stink and/or waste IETF resources over that type of issue, I don't think that the lack of a formal review process would stop them. In fact, the lack of a reasonable way of dealing with this type of disagreement within the IETF context might lead people to take legal action, which would be even worse (more time consuming, expensive, damaging).
