However, they oughtn't be held in confidence against members of the recall committee.  That committee needs to be able to ask signatories why they signed, and to otherwise provide justification for their views.  I would worry less about current Nomcom members being signatories and more about the limited pool of people able to sign.  But I would worry less about BOTH if the number of required signatories is reduced.

The implication of your statement is that the recall petition must stand on its own and that the recall committee would not be able to take statements from those impacted or from witnesses, simply because they signed the petition.  On the other hand, the recall committee could take such statements in support of the subject of the recall because those individuals didn’t sign the petition.

That doesn’t work for me.
