Hi,
In general I am happy with this formulation. Some comments below.

------------------------------------------------------ 3.5 Decision review
In the case where someone believes that a decision of the IAD or the IAOC
either need an extra phrase here or need to change 'believes that' to something like
'objects to'
or add the phrase: 'runs counter to the provisions of RFC ..." or "... provisions of this BCP ..."
or maybe: 'is not in the best interests of the IETF'
he or she may ask for a formal review of the decision by sending e-mail
to the IAOC chair. The request for review is addressed to the IAOC, and
should include details of the decision that is being reviewed, an explanation
of why the decision should be reviewed, and a suggestion for what action
should be taken to rectify the situation. All requests for review will be
published publicly on the IAOC web site.
It is up to the IAOC to determine what level of formal review is required
based on the specifics of the request for review. However, the IAOC is
expected to make some public response to a request for review within
90 days of the request, indicating the findings of the review.
If the IAOC finds that an incorrect or unfair decision was made, it will be
up to the IAOC to decide what type of action, if any, makes sense as a
result. In many cases, it may not be possible or practical to change the
decision (due to signed contracts or business implications), but the IAOC
may choose to make changes to its policies or practices to avoid similar
mistakes in the future or may simply wish to acknowledge that a mistake
was made and learn from the error.
If a person believes that his or her request for review was not handled
properly or fairly by the IAOC, he or she may escalate the request to the
IESG by sending mail to the IETF chair. The IESG will consider the IAOC's
response and may take one of three actions: (1) indicate that the decision
was properly reviewed and the IAOC's response was fair, (2) state why
the review was improper or unfair and offer advice to the IAOC
regarding what type of response or action would be justified, or (3)
determine that there is a problem with the rules governing the IAOC and
propose changes to this document (or other BCPs) to the IETF
community.
In this formulation, I would like to see one further possible step
or (4) refer the issue to the ISOC BoT for further review.
In no case, may the IESG reverse or change a decision of the IAOC or make a direct change to the IAOC's operating policies.
a.
