CW had accepted the nom; hadn't mentioned the open proxies; and people had started commenting. It's not clear there was time for an e-mail correspondence. It was up to CW to sort this out *before* accepting the nom.
How could she, if she was not aware of it until after accepting the nom???
How could she not have been aware that she was using open proxies, James?
Do you have any evidence that she was aware that she was using open proxies *in violation of Wikipedia policy*, Slim? If you do, please provide it.
I think the policy is fairly well known, and if it wasn't, all CW had to do was explain that when asked about it. But instead, there was no explanation at all.
This is getting a bit repetitive, so I'll summarize then stop commenting unless there's a new point:
CW could have made arrangements with the ArbCom or Jimbo before the nom to edit with open proxies if there were special circumstances. S/he didn't. S/he could have mentioned them when accepting the nom. S/he didn't. S/he could have explained on the RfA page when asked about them. S/he didn't. S/he could have e-mailed Jayjg to explain privately. So far as we know, s/he didn't. So it's a question of poor judgment as much as the issue of open proxies.
I conclude from your failure to answer three calls for evidence to back up your point that you have none.
