Section 5.12 seems to have text that relates to pre-RFC5680 situation:
The consultations are permitted to include names of nominees,
if all
parties to the consultation agree to observe the same
confidentiality
rules as the nominating committee itself.
Shouldn’t this be changed? Or am I missing something?
As I read this, "consultations" refers to meetings between a NomCom
member and a community member that might have comments about specific
candidates, not a list or short list of eligible candidates. Unless
I've misunderstood RFC5680, there's been no change to the
confidentiality of those conversations, so that paragraph stands
correct as-is.
I'm not Jari, of course, but I think Jari's point is that of course the
consultations can include the names if they've already been disclosed as
part of a call for feedback. So I agree that it's weird.
I usually forget that sending a list of nominees for feedback is a may,
not a must:
The nominating committee may disclose a list of names of nominees who
are willing to be considered for positions under review to the
community, in order to obtain feedback from the community on these
nominees.
So any particular Nomcom may not have disclosed its list.
Perhaps it would be useful for this text to say "Even if the nominating
committee has not previously disclosed a list of nominees, the
consultations can include these names".
Does that help?

What did you have in mind here?
