I have no problem adding a section taht says we removed the appeals 
chain as we could not find a suitable and legal target for it.

As for whether that will answer any question about what that means?  I 
doubt it will.  Will it address any concerns about creating an imperial 
trust?  If the trust were responsible for standardization or IETF 
process, I would have serious concerns.  If I had a good answer for 
where an appeal could point, I would at least ask the lawyers if we 
could legally do that.
lacking either urgency from impact or a better answer, I don't know what 
you want done.

Regarding quietly chaning this, I was carefully not quiet.  I explicitly 
notified the working group of the concern when I first posted.  There 
was discussion on the working group list.  The chairs, as is their job, 
drew a conclusion from the discussion, and I implemented it.  This was 
unaffected by the fact that folks are not reading a lot of the document 
revisions (a charge to which I plead guilty.)

Yours,
Joel
