Three local people are involved as members of the International Editorial Review Board:

• Michael Lane, University of Southern Queensland
• Olivera Marjanovic, University of Sydney
• Zhaohao Sun, University of Ballarat

The Editor-in-Chief and the Associate Editors are all US-based academics, vendor employees (SAS, Microsoft) or consultants (Gartner, Six Sigma BI) so I would be interested in hearing from anyone how really international the journal is.
