[rpd] ToR Appeal Committee Review

[Badru Ntege]

++

In addition I would like to suggest that the members of the appeals committee serve a term limit to allow fresh blood and avoid side effects of incumbency.

Hi There,

Current appeal text contains below section.

/
An appeal can only be filed if it is supported by three (3) persons from the Working Group who have participated in the discussions.
/

Can the above section of the current appeal process be removed and replaced with.

"An appeal can only be filed if it part of the working group had already indicated support or lack of support for the said proposal under discussion".

OR

"An appeal can only be filed if the appellant
as part of the appeal submission provides example text from the mailing list discussions, the working group support or lack of support for the said proposal under discussion".

The rationale is after all each policy proposal tends to have some significant support or lack of support from the working group up until an appeal is submitted against the proposal by dissatisfied members of the working group.

This is also such that a potentially biased appeals committee does not use the excuse of 3 persons supporters condition as a loophole to throw a potential appeal under the bus like we have witnessedin the recent past.

Cheers,
Noah
