Re: How confidential is the information we share with the Nomcom?

I am not (yet) going to get into who specifically has access to what kind of information and how, but instead asking a meta question about whether or not people care about confidentiality, and to what extent.

I would also like to bring back the attention to the subject of my email "the information we share with the Nomcom" whatever kind it is, nominations, feedback, advise etc. What should be confidential and what doesn't need to be?

regards,
Lakshminath

This is incorrect.  The feedback is encrypted (with the nomcom's public
key) before being committed to disk, and only the nomcom has the private
key necessary to decrypt and read the feedback.  The design of this is
very explicitly done so that nobody who doesn't have the nomcom's private
key can read the feedback.

Where did this erroneous information about the tools team having access
to the feedback come from?
