I don't quite agree with that. We don't know for how long these four will have that role. It's understood as an interim posting. I don't feel that it's important for a public statement to go into such detail. Especially since it was only a few of us who had any say in their nomination. (To be clear: I fully support them.)

Also the statement was intentionally left narrow because for every new issue added, the number of disagreements with it escalates. So I think it was sensible to leave it as it stood.
