"I accept the nomination of area director. The current area
director, Mr. J. Sixpack, has been attempting to impose his
opinion that beer should contain rice. This is causing a rift
in the working groups within the area. I would follow the area
consensus that we should outlaw rice in beer and thus my
appointment as new area director would achieve peace and
harmony within the area."
Why should such a statement be confidential?
Try this one, quite non-hypothetical: a candidate for the IESG is
contemplating switching jobs. His or her current employer does not yet
know this. It has a clear bearing on whether or not that person can do
the job of AD, but equally clearly should not be broadcast to the world.
