The world's probably moved on from this libellous thread by now, but these are the officials named in the WIC media guide. Any/all DQs will pass across their desks whether immediately or shortly after a more junior official has called it, as part of an appeals process. I thought about deleting the names because the relevant thing is their nationality, i.e. not British.
To be clear, there are *literally* no Brits in senior technical roles according to the media guide (although presumably many of the trackside judges are from the host nation).
