That is sort-of orthogonal to whether they'd be a good idea or not :)
Yes, I see that the constitution specifically prohibits the DPL from
withdrawing the delegation of a particular decision and from over-ruling
delegates. Presumably DAM could say "we will voluntarily refer appeals
to the DPL for their opinion and do as the DPL says", but that might be
too much of subverting the intent of the constitution. I'm not sure we
really want to have people delegated just to review DAM appeals...
