<br>
While I'm happy to see two great candidates and good discussion<br>
about NomCom, there's one side issue I find disconcerting, namely<br>
how NCUC EC plans to make its decision.<br>
<br>
I may have misunderstood something, but looking at<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lists.ncuc.org/pipermail/ncuc-ec/2017-July/004061.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.ncuc.org/pipermai<wbr>l/ncuc-ec/2017-July/004061.<wbr>html</a><br>
<br>
it seems they plan to discuss this in private emails.<br>
<br>
Transparency is one of our core values, moving EC deliberations to<br>
private emails is something that should not be done lightly if at all,<br>
certainly not without some extraordinary justification. I would very<br>
much hate to see it become normal, routine procedure whenever EC or<br>
the Chair feel like it.<br>
<br>
There may well be circumstances where confidential discussions are<br>
needed, but they should be rare, explicitly justified and documented,<br>
and even then they should still be recorded and records kept somewhere<br>
where they can be accessed, e.g., by the Ombudsman if need be.<br>
