> The question was about how someone would make a confidential comment to the Nomcom that was not shared with the Liaisons. That suggests that there's a need to do so or at least someone believes there is a need to do so. So maybe let's address that rather than extolling the commitments of the liaisons to confidentiality.
Yesterday [1] I suggested how to do this: “If there are concerns about some people seeing the rationale for a nomination, then send that information privately to people you trust to keep your confidence and who will find that input valuable.” Less than 18 hours after John’s initial note, which was itself less than a day after I announced the opening of nominations.

Yes, but you also said:
We don't really have a way to keep information from liaisons. And looking at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8713.html#section-4.7 and all occurrences of "liaison" in the text, that is clearly not something to do, in my opinion as Chair.
Which as I read it is you saying you don't see a need for any material being sequestered from the Liaisons and you will take no action to do so. Or am I mis-reading that?
Later, Mike
