Can you give us any insight into the internal review process? Who are these folks, how are they trained? How many people are looking at each nomination before a decision is made? Why does internal review sometimes take over a month?

I am interested in this too as it sometimes feels like it’s just one person saying yes or no.
Does Niantic still intend to complete as many in house reviews with rejection appeals now live?
It is an additional question.
What language does the official Niantic reviewer (did you notice? Niantic Danbocat said is a Google review) consist of people?
A more specific question is, "Does the nominations from Japan be reviewed by someone who can understand Japanese without using a translator?"
The same is true for other countries. Is there an official Niantic reviewer who understands each country's native language?
This is very interesting.
According to Giffard's comment, they accidentally followed the LIFO approach instead of the FIFO approach. This is probably one of the reasons you've been waiting for over a month.
sorry.
It seems that the word "Google Review" that does not exist in the original text was displayed due to a mistake in Google Translate.
I'm also curious about who is doing the reviews.
I want to know this as well. It's not just the language, it's the cultural background that tells a person "this is important here". I'm fairly certain that Niantic internal review relies on web translation Software and reviewers have NO IDEA what culturally fits for the entire world.
A gateball ground for example is usually just a flat, open field with gateball related things that are hard to see in a photo unless people are playing. Japanese reviewers will know this. Some Niantic reviewer in any other country is thinking "what the heck is gateball? No sign!! Rejected!!!"
