Hi Sam, Commenting only on the possibility of accessing the candidate list, further down: on 2006-12-18 15:37 Sam Hartman said the following: > > If I'm reading the following mail correctly, it sounds like the nomcom > is requesting feedback from a working group mailing list. > > In other words anyone who creates a tools.ietf.org account for that > address can see the short list of candidates. I was alerted to this shortly after the invitations went out, and removed the list address from the ACL. For a short while, somebody requesting a password for that address (with the confirmation email and authentication hash going to the same address, thus appearing on the list) could have set a password and accessed the short list, but that's not possible any more.
