An appeal goes to the national authority in writing, with the protest committee's decision and facts, the grounds for appeal (why the rules were misapplied), and any diagram. Deadlines are short; check the national authority's prescription. The protest committee and other parties may comment. The national authority can ask the protest committee for more facts or order a reopening if the facts are inadequate. National authorities may change this appendix by prescription; event documents cannot.
