I really think we want to stay away from any statement which implies

I do not think it is reasonable or practical to try to include
disclaimers in the list of nominees about eveyr misapprehension that
readers of the list may form.
We ought not be making any public statement about the nominees degree
of willingness to serve, degree of desire for change or stability, or
any other opinion about the nominee. We are simply letting folks know
that the nominee exists.
If we absolutely have to have a stronger disclaimer, I would think it
would need to be quite general, not specific about nominees opinions
on any one dimension. And certainly not a list of thing on which the
nominee is not expressing an opinion in public.
What he said. I do not think it is realistic to document the degree of
willingness to serve or the opinion of the nominee about any of the
other candidates. (And in fact, its not certain that there is always
clear information to reveal.) The IETF community members who see a list
of candidates should also take into account that they do not really know
what the candidates' intents, desires, and abilities to serve are.
