Dave, it seems to me that with your suggestion it feels as if
you (or we the community) want to redo some of the nomcom work?
I.e. you do not trust their evaluations?
They also have received (I presume) lots of feedback on the candidates
and probably did some interviews. We do not have that info. So tough
to challenge them based on only nominees statements.
Bert,
I'm not commenting on the current Nomcom. I don't have an opinion about
the current Nomcom.
Sam is calling for the community to do additional review of the current
candidates and provide additional input. I am merely suggesting
something that would facilitate that: People providing feedback can
tailor their comments better if they have some idea of the candidates
own statements to Nomcom.
The earlier, private discussion that I referenced was to the potential
benefits of making the questionnaires public regularly, but that's a
major policy change. My current suggestion does not require that, since
it's a matter of personal choice by each candidate.
As for the possible long-term change in policy, different factors affect
who provides comments to Nomcom and what comments they provide.
I can't see a downside to the public availability of a candidate's own
statements to Nomcom about their background and qualifications. I see
the upside of providing the community with a more complete gauge for
judging what types of comments to provide as feedback to Nomcom about
the candidate.
