    <p>I have to agree that this appeal doesn't seem to have been
      handled and explained well.<br>
      To me questions were left opened without a proper explanation from
      the Appeal Committee regarding the critical point of having
      treated differently from what it was done before and even worst if
      it was added or not stuff that is not in the PDP. I would really
      like to have an official position from the Committee about Noah's
      and Jordi's points, as it doesn't seem just a minor disagreement
      from the Committee's decision.</p>
    <p>Also from what was said that the Appeal Committee's decision is
      final, does that mean that even if they realize they were wrong in
      their analysis that cannot be reverted ?</p>
    <p>We are just asking for more explanation.<br>
