Re: Last Call: draft-dawkins-nomcom-openlist (Nominating Committee Process: Open Disclosure of Willing Nominees) to BCP

I really think we want to stay away from any statement which implies 
anything about the nominees views about anyone.
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.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern
