I am replying because I think that the Appeal Committee may consider the questions out of scope for them.

Yes, the announcement on the floor of the public meeting was the instant that the decision became public knowledge.

I would assume that the last call process would be suspended and cannot proceed until the adjudication of the appeal has been completed, but I wish to have a formal clarification on this.

According to AFRINIC’s legal advisor, an appeal would have the effect of suspending the last call process whilst awaiting the decision of the appeal committee on the issue of whether the Co-chairs were right or wrong.
