Source Check Verdicts
Last checked: 4/13/2026
The source is CAIS's official 'About Us' page, which includes a Leadership section listing three named leaders and describing five functional teams. Thomas Woodside is not mentioned anywhere in the provided text, nor is a 'Policy Director' position listed. While the source discusses CAIS's advocacy activities (which could theoretically involve policy work), it does not confirm or contradict the specific claim about Thomas Woodside holding a Policy Director role. The absence of this person/role from the leadership and team descriptions in an official organizational page makes the claim unverifiable from this source, though it does not directly contradict it (he could hold a role not listed in this excerpt).
