Realistically, there might not be a choice. That depends on the |
| 9 |
composition of devrel, of course, and if the population count forces |
| 10 |
managers to be investigators, then so be it. |

It's better not, however. Ideally, an appeals panel should work only |
| 13 |
from the record before it and the arguments made by the parties |
| 14 |
involved. Personally, if I were on an appeals panel hearing a case I |
| 15 |
had previously investigated, I'd have trouble putting aside opinions I |
| 16 |
had formed during the appeals process (but I emphasise this is related |
| 17 |
to my own personal makeup). |

If nothing else, the ultimate outcome of any case decided on appeal |
| 20 |
would look more legitimate if investigation, adjudication, and appeal |
| 21 |
were handled by separate bodies. |

Or, maybe I'm just being to legalistic here? |
