NO ... it reads as THE BOARD ... cannot be plainer than that
It is with great regret that the ISPA board is announcing that a decision was taken at an emergency meeting of ISPA on 13 September 2016 that the board would cease its work on 23 September 2016.0 -
how can the board operate without a chairperson!
the board could start to work again when a new chairperson is found / elected by the BPA
I have not spotted the recignations of Saadiya Ahmad , Douglas Campbell OBE ,Bob Dyson QPM, DL or Manny Rasores de Toro mentioned yet?

The board can install a temp chair if required.
But they conclude by saying
The board took the view that these challenges were so
great that it could not continue to operate and should be wound up
That is the board saying that, not the chair0 -
conflicting info?
The British Parking Association (BPA) has received Nicola Mullany’s resignation as Chair of The Independent Scrutiny Board for Parking Appeals (ISPA) The Chair is appointed by the BPA, the government and a representative of the consumer sector.
Patrick Troy, BPA CEO said: “We thank Nicola for her contributions as Chair of ISPA and wish her all the best for the future.”
ISPA will continue to scrutinise POPLA to ensure that the service it delivers continues to be independent and be seen to be independent. POPLA was established by the BPA in 2012 by agreement with Government, which led the way in delivering independent redress for the consumer.
Since POPLA’s launch by the BPA on October 1st 2012, 119,387 appeals have been received equating to around 1% of tickets issued (approximately 45,000 appeals every year). POPLA is free to the motorist and decisions are binding on the operator. There has not been a single instance where a BPA operator has refused to accept a POPLA decision.
The BPA continues to lobby government for the introduction of a standard setting body with a single code of practice and a single appeals service, which it introduced to a broad range of stakeholders, landowners and consumers as a solution to the issues of parking on private land earlier this year.
Patrick Troy continued: “It became clear from the summit that people wanted consistency in parking on private land. We made a case for a single standard setting body and everyone gave it their support.”

Why did the board say it could not continue ?
Why does Troy say he is advertising for a new Chair.
WHY is the operative question and as I am not Troy (thank god)
there is no answer.
All I can say is that when I watched Troy and Dunford on BBC Watchdog, I like many I thought these are two dodgy guys, turns out they are0 -
DVLA has confirmed that the tax payer underwrites the loss they suffer by providing PPCs with each and every keeper's details.Who on earth told you that ????
Hope the DVLA did not tell you that woppa
Suppose they did make a loss from attracting more than £10 million,
if that part of the DVLA is insolvent it should be closed down

Do keep up!
But of course, like any of this, the truth is always fluid, depending on what suits - and they've subsequently changed their position once they were caught with their pants down!Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

That is such old news , cannot keep up with old news
Anyway, as said at the time, electronic transfer of data 24/7 would only cost penny's so it's bull and bluff that they lose money from the £2.50 or ...... maybe the books are cooked ?0
