People willing to work actively (i.e draft or and edit) a document on this topic are invited to contact me immediately. The objective is to plan a mini-BOF during the General Area open meeting at IETF 66. Without committed volunteers in the community, this work will not happen. BCP 9 (RFC 2026) describes the appeals procedures of the IETF as an appendage to the standards process, whereas the IESG and IAB have in practice been willing to accept and process appeals on any matter concerning IETF decisions. It would be better to have the appeals procedures described in a separate document, updated in the light of experience. (Note that draft-carpenter-rfc2026-critique contains some relevant comments.)
