Notes on transcription errors and uncertain items

The subtitles in the video contain obvious typos and errors (e.g., “August 867” instead of 1967; “Asian” or “Asan” used instead of “ASEAN”).
Dates and membership-status statements about Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea appear inconsistent or corrupted (examples: “July 23, 2016” and “Masid status since 1.76”). These items should be verified from authoritative sources if accuracy is required.

Speakers / sources featured
