I can report for certain that there has been at least one _attempt_ to appeal an IAB decision to the Internet Society BoT, but at least in the case I recall it was rejected.  The appeal to the BoT is very narrowly scoped: the BoT may not rule on substance, but rather may rule where the procedures themselves were inadequate.  In the case I am thinking of, that was not the contention of the would-be appellant, so the appeal was rejected on the grounds that the appeal was beyond the scope of the body to decide.

Best regards,

A
