good observations, Thierry. I would point out that the part of the Affirmation you cite contains the kind of weak language that is all-too-typical of existing ICANN accountability mechanisms: the Board is asked to "consider" an appeal mechanism. The very busy ICANN Board has no real incentive ti _implement_ one until and unless its community really makes noise about it, and, perhaps they lose the ICM case and are forced to concentrate their minds on the issue.
