In either case the person affected can appeal to Council which makes |
| 22 |
the final decision. |

I don't really see the need to make the appeal automatic, which is |
| 25 |
basically what you're advocating. If the person affected accepts the |
| 26 |
decision, then it can stand. If they don't think the decision is |
| 27 |
right, they can appeal. |

The purpose of the Council is to deal with conflicts between |
| 30 |
teams/etc. At the moment that the QA/Comrel teams make a decision |
| 31 |
there is no actual conflict. The conflict exists when the person |
| 32 |
affected by the decision announces their disagreement and desire to |
| 33 |
appeal. |
