I am a bit mystified. Since the IETF is open to anyone who cares to participate, there is no finite community within which to keep this list (or any other non-confidential information)
Well, I'm not sure it matters. Anyone interested in the list is, by any reasonable definition, a member of the community. In fact, given the lack of definition of the community, one could cheerfully argue that anyone who the list of nominees is disclosed to counts as a member of the community, since by knowing the nominee list they are to some degree "involved".
While I think there's sufficient doubt to reduce this from "public", ie unrestricted publishing, I don't see any argument that could hold any water preventing anyone sending any third party the nominee list.
