The only Director I am aware of on the Standard's Committee is Ken Stewart the Director responsible for it. Even here Ken is not on the Board. The Committee is appointed at the AGM. The Appeals Committee cannot have a Director. I think it is difficult to get anything much more open and fair than that.

Whilst there is a similar problem at national level it would not be so accute. At a recent British Championships appeal we only just had two arbiters for the 5 person appeal committee because everyone else had been involved in some way in the events leading up to the appeal.
