If there has been no denial to appeal from, only talk against it, there's
been no denial and no decision.  On the positive side, in nearly all
instances, probabilities of winning on appeal are lower than the
probabilities of winning in an original hearing or trial or decision.

It would seem that there either is, or should be, a process to "call the
question" as they say in parliamentary procedure.  If not, a motion can be
made for a decision, or a letter sent citing undue delay and calling for a
decision (with or without additional clarifying expertise appended to it).
A person familiar with whatever exists in terms of procedure can recommend
the best format or vehicle for forcing a decision.

If indeed there is no rule or even informal precedent at all in this area,
then "just do it" anyway.  There are all kinds of things respected by
everyone in the area of "common sense" that have no rule or precedent to
support them.  One example are principles of logic: they remain fully
applicable to ICANN absent a formal ICANN rule or ruling prohibiting the
application of logic in a given set of instances that somehow applies to
this issue.   (Etc....)
