I agree. Our process may be complicated, but a deviation from due process that requires 145 pages of description is simply not possible. We have specific rules in RFC 2026 and RFC 2418 (and various updates) and it should be possible to describe specific alleged deviations from those rules in a page or two. If the appeal merely reflects the fact that the appellant disagrees with the WG consensus, that is not a ground for appeal. I do not believe the IESG is under any obligation to spend its precious time digesting such a mass of text to discern any actual grounds for appeal.
