Well, in terms of type of person, I am rather informal myself. but in
this case I think we are talking about a process that can serve the
IETF community and I believe it needs a certain formality.
We can send omcplaints/concerns ot IAOC.
And I just look for a statement under their duties that says they
receive and act on these complaints/concerns.
We ssume IAOC will handle/act on it
I don't think it is safe to assume. If assumptions of people doing the
right thing were always sufficient, we would not need most of the text
in this BCP.
If they do not, we can start the recall process on them
I would prefer to not have to rely on that big a hammer.
Maybe I am just too simple minded.
Somehow, I doubt that.

Well,
A letter of complaint requires no response unless there is something
that formalizes the requirement of response.
And if there is no procedure indicating that the IAOC needs to pay
attention to a letter of complain, that decision, i.e the one
to ignore
letters of complain, cannot be appealed.
So, as I see it, without a formalized process of complaint/appeal of
IAD actions we are left with no avenue to deal with problems
other then
by the yearly nomcom process and the IETF list.

Since when would you not be allowed to send an email/complaint to
the IAOC ??
I guess you meant to say that there is not "formal way" to do so,
yeah, that is what i explicitly said.
but we're all adults and we CAN communicate, can we not?
what does being an adult have to do with it?
I don't understand. The issue is that there is no way to
make the IAOC
take notice of the communication.
I.e. I do not see why we would need to make a formal procedure for
this.
Because the lack of formalization leaves the IETF community without a
means to appeal decisions. And this decreases the level of
accountability.
And of the things I thought that were driving the entire AdminRest
process was the need for transparency and accountability. And as I
understand accountability in the IETF, it involves handling appeals
from the IETF community.
