Re: SUMMARY: publish list of nominees?

["Joel M. Halpern" <joel@stevecrocker.com>]

From the discussion, I would like to support publishing a list of people, 
but qualify the list a bit.  My suggestion is that
We should publish the list of confirmed nominees at the point that the 
nominating committee has had a chance to perform such confirmation and 
perform any winnowing of acceptability has been performed.  The nominating 
committee should add any additional confirmed nominees to the list in a 
timely fashion as they occur.

The idea is to get the names out there as soon as they have said yes, but 
not reveal too much about the internal discussions.  Since names may be 
added over time for many reasons (members of the community may volunteer / 
add nominees if they feel the list is insufficient, or the committee may 
twist arms to get nominees they like, or...) I think incremental 
publication of names should be acceptable.  Publication of names that have 
not indicated a willingness to serve seems unfair.
While I would like to publish the "short list" I think that gives too much 
visibility to the nomcomm process and would interfere with fiar internal 
discussion.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern
