[rpd] Clarifications about the Appeal Committee

[Fernando Frediani]

Dear Mr Moonesamy

The advice of a lawyer can not always be taken as definitive or final, 
specially in a situation where the members of most interested community 
are disputing that type of controvert advice which does not seem to be 
covered anywhere in the ToR. It is not because he/she is a lawyer and 
that his/her via cannot be disputed.

I asked in a previous email similar questions to where in the ToR some 
statements from this advice can be confirmed (which articles) and got no 
response until now. If the Board trust the lawyer who gave such 
controvert advice at least answer and clarify not only mine but other's 
doubts about it.

Law is not exact science and no single word of a whatever licensed 
professional can be taken as final as easy as it seems to be the case.

Regards
Fernando
