Recently the Judge Program has come under attack on social media, the Program Coordinators with the help of several other Judge Program leaders have written this statement about the current situation:

Thank you for reading it, we'll come back to you when we have more information or thoughts to share.

Dear colleagues,

The program Coordinators do not have all answers you may be looking for, but we would like to share with you what we know and our opinion.
