The source text confirms that John Thornhill was appointed to the Ada Lovelace Institute board and identifies him correctly by name and organization. However, the announcement date is 25 November 2019, not 2020. While the appointment may have taken effect in 2020, the source does not explicitly state a start date of 2020—only that the appointment was announced in late 2019. This is a temporal ambiguity: the announcement predates the claimed start date, but the actual effective date of the appointment is not specified in the source. The record is incomplete regarding the precise start date.
