Not exactly true. Yes, I am busy, but I also said that I would prepare the
appeal if nobody else would. It seems that nobody else has prepared one,
so I went ahead and did it, making use of Frank's write-up (thanks!).
I have seen many comments thanking Julian for writing this appeal and
saying that it is good. While I also appreciate Julians efforts, I
think we are going to hurt ourselves by not critically reviewing this
appeal.
This is our last chance. If the effort is going to be productive, we
need to get it right.
So, I think that it is *very* important to play devil's advocate and
look at this appeal from the point of view of the IAB, and to a lesser
extent, the IESG.
What previous appeals have worked, and why?
What previous appeals have failed, and why?
Are we using the right basis (or bases) for the grounds of the appeal?
Is it too long?
Too short?
Think hard about this.
