You should remove more junior panelists, IMO. They are more likely to side with company/your current manager (for lack of backbone/fear). More senior people are more likely to make judgements based on your data/case. I appealed pivot and won, you can dm me for more info.

If there is any link at all (been in meetings, interacted before) and you are mentioning the area of interaction in the doc, it may be good to keep that panelist to gain credibility with them (if the little area you have in common checks out then likely your entire doc is more believable, eben the areas that you did not interact over).

Good luck
