Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
354 - What is the process to follow if I disagree with a reviewer's ruling and want to challenge it further?

The "Submission guidance document" on the PAAB website outlines the escalation process. For your convenience, I have pasted the relevant segment below. The policy is intended to ensure that the reviewer has had a fair chance to resolve the matter and consult internally if necessary. Here is the excerpt: Escalation requests will be accepted only after having discussed a written review comment with the PAAB Reviewer, responding in writing and receiving a subsequent PAAB letter about the same issue. If you wish to escalate an issue regarding and eFile, please contact PAAB administrators with a detailed reason for the request, the eFile # and points to be discusses, and the requestors contact information. The administrator will forward the request to the appropriate PAAB personel.
