Hi.  I'm not sure it is necessary to go that far.

I'm actually trying to discuss this issue with the rest of the IESG
and see if we can come to agreement on how we'd like to handle making
sure that appeals don't become a DOS.  Clearly we'll need to let the
community know what we decide.  Also, if it involves modifying a BCP
and not just establishing internal IESG procedure, we'll need a formal
last call.
Clearly we should take any community comments we receive into account.

However I don't think this particular issue requires the entire ietf
list to design a solution.  I suspect we'll be able to come up with a
first cut on our own without taking up the time of the entire
community.
