The Oxford Union Society is the worlds oldest existing debating society
Even though the Union has members there is an additional qualification to stand
for election, a member must have spoken at two debates in the term they wish to
stand before the close of hustings. These are 'qualified members'.
It seems to me that the same principle has already been established with
NOMCON.
I don't think that you can apply such criteria to the appeals process unless
you first apply it to other elements of ietf participation. Otherwise you will
end up with serious liability issues.

I think he's got a good idea. It maybe could use some tweaking.
The IETF should stop doing things that are not relevant to
its constituency and serve only to waste its (donated) time-dollars.
This includes but is not limited to: appeals from total nuts.
One perfectly acceptable tactic, which Olafur has codified in
this draft, is to limit appeals to only those made by mixed nuts.
I think it would be more productive to suggest alternative
tactics than to ask Olafur to withdraw his draft. We would
all like to know what other options there are.
I didn't try to find three "paying members" to support that
opinion,
and nobody else is "qualified" to support it :-(
