Joe,

1) exposing the full list to the entire community invites lobbying the
nomcom

    This probably already happens to some extent, but do
    we really want to encourage this?

It's not clear this will lead to more lobbying than we have now. I
think lobbying happens a lot now and is driven by the candidate
him/herself, or the many people who get the "secret" lists.  I think it
would be more balanced if everyone knew.

If everyone knew, there would be more lobbying since there would be more
people participating. I doubt the direct or secret-list lobbying would
wane much as a result.

I would add that the current system gives a greater ability to comment
on candidates to the leadership (IAB/IESG/WG Chairs) because they get
the many of the "secret" nomcom candidate lists.  The nomcom might get
broader feedback if the lists are open.

Yes, they might, but as I pointed out that's not the only effect.

Joe
