Hi,

Right. That was my aim:

"Administrators can reverse a moderation decision without consulting an 
Area Director or the IESG."

https://github.com/larseggert/draft-ietf-modpod-group-processes/pull/253/files


Notably, that doesn't mean they do not consult the moderators. It means 
they can negotiate without involving an AD or the IESG. If there's a 
really bad problem, that has to go up the chain.

thanks,
Rob
