Jeremy, I am not sure I will like to use the appeals team for this. 
Precisely because I consider it rather likely that the appeals team, 
faced with having to take a formal decision on the issue, may decide 
that the charter amendment process was not right (among others, I read 
Avri too as saying that it would be a close call).

And I hope you have considered the implications of this. It will 
invalidate the outputs of the nomcom constituted on the basis of the 
charter amendment, whereby , a few weeks down, we will be left with not 
having the slate of IGC nominees for the CSTD WG, to hurry towards which 
we have got into all this.

I would not like to expose ourselves to that risk.

  Parminder

PS: However this does not rule out that someone else may appeal against 
the process, and indeed I have read some views on the list which are at 
least as critical of the way the process has been conducted as I.
