message: Does anyone have a source for this? I understood that the details of the UKUSA agreement have not been made public (although we have some idea):
:The primary purpose of UKUSA is to service the ECHELON monitoring system.
I've moved it here temporarily from the article for now. — Matt Crypto 23:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: South Africa highlighted on the map

message: I'm wary of making categoric statements about the nature of the AusCaNZUKUS relationships without access to the agreement document.  Some fora have a rotating chairmanship with one of the five member states assuming control for a fixed period.
With that in mind, without an explicit reference I'd prefer that no attribution is made.
The original UKUSA agreement has been superceded by a number of amendments over time.

thread_title:  The leadership issue 

message: Does such an organization as "UKUSA" exist? Where is it based? Who funds it? Who runs it? If I want to send it a letter, is there a mailing address? As it stands, this article shows little verifiable content and might deserve deletion. Lex Medlin (talk) 23:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Neologism?

message: This BBC news item ("Secret terror files left on train" dates 11 June 2008) proves that the caveat associated with the UKUSA agreement is real.  A Top Secret document about Al-Qaeda Vulnerabilities was left on a train.  The classification and caveat "UK TOP SECRET STRAP2 CAN/AUS/UK/US EYES ONLY" can be seen in the photograph.  A paragraph further down translates the caveat's abbreviations into English as "For UK, US, Canadian and Australian eyes only".

The civil servant was punished for his security breach by being demoted 3 ranks (with appropriate large pay reduction), prosecuted and fined £2,500.

thread_title: Proof that caveat exists

message: So is this an officially confirmed agreement, unofficial speculation, or simply a convenient term for the status quo? For a topic of this importance it would be nice to see either some official sources, or a clearer introduction that mentions their absence. Leushenko (talk) 00:23, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Malware Link Removal 

message: I would like to suggest the option of removing the examples of actual spying operations from this article, maybe to one of the articles about the NSA spying scandals. This article is about the UKUSA-agreement/Five Eyes, and I think we should keep it close to the actual subject. The various spying operations are often conducted by NSA or by one or more of its partners, but they are not specific UKUSA operations. The only thing is that information related to those operations might be releasable to the Five Eyes partners. P2Peter (talk) 23:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

message: This article is about the UKUSA Agreement. The Global surveillance template (on the right) was added to the section on Global coverage, which I replaced with a Further information template (above) linking to the Global surveillance article. Whizz40 (talk) 12:08, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
