[Area 1] Regarding review and redress

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear Bruce,
I have certain difficulties in the way that the didcussion is taking place.
There is no right process to do so.
Please kindly look at my proposal that " Review Mechanism " is different
from "Redress Mechanism" HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT ALTERNATIVE TO EACH OTHER
but complementary . The former is the pre requisite to the latter ,
Once we agree to this then  based on the scope and nature of mechanism ,any
given action should be put under the corresponding mechanism
Pls do not mixed these two together.
TKS
