Actually, that raises a very good point.

At present the list is neither secret, nor public. Any bad effect from
the list being public will occur, any bad effect from it being secret
can occur.


I think that that is a "deep truth," since

1,$s/bad/good/

is also true.

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.

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.
