I have two problems with your text:

reviewing bodies would have privilleged access to normally-confidential
information related to the decision being challenged.

For myself, I agree these things are true. I would like to
believe they are obvious, though I'm not certain of that. For
example, these things are equally true of the IAB and IESG, but it's
not clear to me that everyone understands they can drop a
