Confidentiality and the Nomcom has always been an interesting topic
to me. Some want everything to be secretive. I think that the more
stuff we try to keep secret the harder it is. Personally, the holy
grail is potential negative feedback the community may want to
provide to the nomcom. In some instances that feedback has been used
to unseat someone and in other cases just to be packaged as feedback
to the I* member in question. If we lose the potential to get/give
negative feedback without possible repercussions, more people are
willing to share such opinions. That's the objective anyway.
It might be worthwhile for the community to know the feedback is known to
* the voting members of the nomcom
* nomcom current and past year's chair
* the 3 liaison members
* the tools team (some of them are IETF contributors)
* whoever maintains the nomcom list archives
* ???
Frankly the feedback does not need to seen by anyone other than the
voting members IMO. What do others think?
thanks,
Lakshminath
