I have heard that as well, but cannot find it in RFC 2026 or any of the RFCs 
that update 2026 (3667 3668 3932 3978 3979 5378 5657 5742 6410). It should 
only be in the Tao if we can point to where the rule comes from.


see RFC 2026 section 6.5.3

6.5.3 Questions of Applicable Procedure

   Further recourse is available only in cases in which the procedures
   themselves (i.e., the procedures described in this document) are
   claimed to be inadequate or insufficient to the protection of the
   rights of all parties in a fair and open Internet Standards Process.
   Claims on this basis may be made to the Internet Society Board of
   Trustees.  The President of the Internet Society shall acknowledge
   such an appeal within two weeks, and shall at the time of
   acknowledgment advise the petitioner of the expected duration of the
   Trustees' review of the appeal.  The Trustees shall review the
   situation in a manner of its own choosing and report to the IETF on
   the outcome of its review.

   The Trustees' decision upon completion of their review shall be final
   with respect to all aspects of the dispute.

note that the appeal to the ISOC BopT is only if the claim is that the rules 
are broken 
not the application of the rules

there has never been such an appeal
