+1.  AD decisions to not sponsor a draft are really not the sort of
decisions that can be appealed.  You've got two ADs per-area, if you
can't get either of them, or any of the others, to sponsor your draft,
then maybe you're doing things wrong.  A BoF/WG seems like a fine
starting point.

I'd also like to second EKR's proposal that the IAB and IESG should get
a first crack at policing themselves.  That wouldn't exclude a proper
recall mechanism that can be initiated outside the IAB/IESG, but maybe
we wouldn't need to make that mechanism too easy to start.  Lastly, a
mechanism for quickly dealing with frivolous petitions can make it
tolerable to make starting a recall process too easy.
