Re: [IAB] IAB appeal for arpa assignment

[Timothy Mcsweeney <[e-mail]>]

Ok thank you Wes. 

I know that the members of the IESG and the IAB are highly skilled seasoned professionals and in a group they are a formidable bunch.  I was wondering, what help is available to appellants like myself who are basically noobs to the entire process?

Hi Timothy,

In the IESG appeal I listed every decision I could think of but this time I

would like to avoid that. There are some decisions that the IESG made that

I may be unaware of making it difficult for me to pick. Section 8 of RFC

2026 says"

Each of the organizations involved in the development and approval of

Internet Standards shall publicly announce, and shall maintain a

publicly accessible record of, every activity in which it engages, to

the extent that the activity represents the prosecution of any part

of the Internet Standards Process.

Can you please post the previous draft(s) of the final IESG decisions

and any other activity engaged in for that final decision of my appeal?

The IAB does not have access to "previous draft(s)" of documents

authored by the IESG. If they do exist, we wouldn't know about it or

have them unless they were provided to us [they weren't, as far as I

know].

[speaking for myself, not for the whole of the IAB] Although I'm the IAB

liason to the IESG, I am not a core member of the IESG and thus was not

privy to the conversations about your appeal to the IESG. Thus, I must

base any conclusions I have on your desire for an appeal to the IAB

based on the information I can gather, which would certainly include the

IESG's response regarding the appeal and, hopefully, your view of

where and why that response was incorrect.
