    <p>Hello</p>
    <p>I think the Appeal is well written, however the appeal is
      directed against the Policy Liaison Team and the Board the CPM
      Section 3.5 only predicts appeals against the Co-Chais decisions.
      From CPM: "<i>A person who disagrees with the <b>actions taken by
          the Chair(s)</b> shall discuss the matter with the PDWG
        Chair(s) or with the PDWG</i>"<br>
      I also don't see that the consensus was taken neither by the
      Policy Liaison Team or the Board of Directors, but by the PDWG
      itself in the lack of both Co-Chairs.</p>
    <p>Therefore I believe this Appeal is not applicable.<br>
      Fernando<br>

            requirements and qualifications imposed by the Policy
            Liaison Team, It is vital
            to note that they were never stipulated under the CPM. By
            simply adding on a
            list of requirement and qualification proves that the Policy
            Liaison Team have
            acted arbitrarily and with blatant disregard to the terms
            and procedures which
            are clearly stipulated under the CPM.</span></p>
