> Scientific communities don't formally elect a spokesperson Some communities do. > Granting access "to the community" to investigate scientific claims means making the methodology and results available to everybody - and that includes responding to inquiries for access from anyone (who is worth granting access to.)

If you keep asking questions to different people/orgs and not getting responses there are two possible conclusions: - Everyone is a jerk or coward. - You're not as important as you think and not worth the recipient's time.
