They report that "The prestigious seven-person team had to date not included anyone from outside the USA and Western Europe." This is true of the current composition of the Board, but previous members have been from outside these areas, including Ting Chen and Bishakha Datta.

This is not true of the current composition of the board: Patricio Lorente is from Argentina. Also, the board has 10 members, not 7. —Emufarmers^(T/C) 22:12, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The press summary is useful, however why has the name/account name of the Checkuser the case was brought against been studiously avoided?

It is worth highlighting that others have raised direct questions about WMUK's records of the incident and the actions they will be taking to improve governance and necessary oversight[1]. The conclusion being "the response is underwhelming, evasive and unhelpful". It is hard to understand why a UK charity would not want to promptly make the public record clear and unambiguous during an open Arbcom case, given the context of possible manipulation of a national election. --Fæ (talk) 10:25, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
