According to s4 of ripe-642 this is the correct procedure to
appeal a grievance in the PDP:

4. Appeals Procedure

If a grievance cannot be resolved with the chair of the WG the
matter can be brought to the attention of the Working Group
Chairs Collective (WGCC). Anyone may submit an appeal. This must
be submitted to the relevant WG mailing list(s) and to the Policy
Announce Mailing List (policy-announce at ripe.net). The appeal will
also be published by the RIPE NCC at appropriate locations on the
RIPE web site. Any appeal should include a detailed and specific
description of the issues and clearly explain why the appeal was
submitted. An appeal must be submitted no later than four weeks
after the appealable action has occurred. 

The WGCC will decide by consensus whether to uphold or reject
appeals which have been submitted. The decision of the WGCC
should be reached no later than four weeks of an appeal being
made. Interested parties shall recuse themselves from any
discussion or decision within the WGCC relating to the appeal.

If the dispute cannot be resolved by the decision of the WGCC,
the issue should be brought to the RIPE Chair. The decision of
the RIPE Chair will be final.

I guess we can consider the appeal made, leave it to the WGCC and
stop debating the definition of a chair.
