 ::Fine, I'll answer your questions, although I feel Elen already did: 
 ::#ArbCom received a number of emails about the matter. 
 ::#Individual members of ArbCom are free to ""review"" what they please. We're individuals, not a group consciousness. I read through the emails and looked into the background, but that was about it since no formal requests for action were made. I expect many of my colleagues did the same. 
 ::#Again, since no formal requests for action were made, there was no vote nor need for one.  
 ::If you feel action needs to be taken, I'd suggest you file a request at RFAR for a proper public review of the matter. However, I'm not about to disclose the content of private emails sent to the Committee in confidence, which seems to be what you're after. I echo Elen's concerns about your motives here, as your questions are rather leading, particularly when couched by a very charged rant (for lack of a better word) that doth claim too much it is solely in the interests of transparency.
