          my view, the important thing from a transparency and fairness
          perspective, is to accurately calculate what qualities,
          skills, experience, etc we need for the job, and figure out a
          fair weighting of points, keeping in mind gender and regional
          representation concerns. Then we publish that in advance.   We
          have a lot of work to do just to reach this level of maturity,
          in my view, as we could see from the reception that the grid
          Ayden prepared for the SSC received.  In my view, assessment
          of what is needed and evaluation of candidates is actually
          quite difficult, and I don't think we as a group necessarily
          can reach agreement right now on which roles are good for
          newcomers, and which demand experience, which require previous
          participation on PDPs, etc.. Once we have a thorough
          discussion of these factors, and agree to do the work up front
          on the assessment grid (a non-trivial piece of work), then,
          frankly, the assessment grid does the job for us, there is
          very little need to comment further on the characteristics of
          the candidates, except to commend the winner on having
          demonstrated x</font></font>, y, and Z.  <font size="+1"><br>

        them along,  and not doing anything that might discourage them

                              <div>Hi all,<br>
                              </div>
                              <div><br>
                              </div>
                              <div>Just to build on this discussion, I'd
                                like to suggest a proposal for future
                                processes, to see what the community
                                thinks. As noted in the above email,
                                there are two main concerns with
                                expanding transparency in these
                                processes. The first concerns the
                                potential impact on the candour of the
                                deliberative process, the second
                                concerns whether having open discussions
                                of candidates' strengths and weaknesses
                                might deter people from running for
                                positions. I think both of these are
                                legitimate concerns. However, in
                                designing transparency systems, when we
                                see potential harms like this, we don't
                                necessarily give up on trying to expand
                                openness. Rather, we try and develop a
                                solution which avoids these harms, but
                                which nonetheless provides for a boost
                                in openness.<br>
                              </div>
                              <div><br>
                              </div>
                              <div>I would propose that, for future
                                nominations processes, after
                                deliberations have concluded, and the
                                successful candidate(s) have been
                                informed, the EC collate the email
                                discussions together and de-attribute
                                them - so it is not possible to
                                determine which EC member said what, but
                                that all comments are preserved. These
                                anonymized comments can then be sent to
                                all candidates - which will be helpful
                                for them in assessing their own
                                candidacy, and potential areas of
                                improvement. The candidates will then be
                                asked if they consent to the document
                                being publicly distributed and <u
                                  style="font-weight:bold">if they
                                  consent,</u> it can then be made
                                public.<br>
                              </div>
                              <div><br>
                              </div>
                              <div>My idea is that the de-attribution
                                will prevent concerns that EC members
                                will be held personally responsible for
                                critical assessments of candidates,
                                while the requirement for candidates'
                                consent to disclosure will ensure that,
                                in cases where people are uncomfortable
                                with what has been said about them, they
                                can keep it from being distributed.<br>

                                                  Since the question of

                                                  raised, we thought it

                                                  style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">As
                                                  many on this list have
                                                  noted, transparency is
                                                  of the utmost
                                                  importance in these
                                                  processes. The
                                                  community needs to be
                                                  confident that the
                                                  process was fair,
                                                  honest and
                                                  accountable. We take
                                                  this responsibility
                                                  seriously. As others
                                                  have also noted, there
                                                  are competing
                                                  considerations that
                                                  need to be carefully
                                                  balanced as part of
                                                  these processes. These
                                                  include the ability of
                                                  the EC to openly and
                                                  honestly express their
                                                  views about
                                                  candidates, discussing
                                                  their weaknesses as
                                                  well as their
                                                  strengths. It is also
                                                  worth noting that
                                                  often the candidates
                                                  for these positions
                                                  are our respected
                                                  colleagues. The
                                                  process requires that
                                                  EC members be able to
                                                  discuss their
                                                  preferences frankly,
                                                  without worrying that
                                                  their remarks will
                                                  lead to personal
                                                  animosity down the
                                                  line. Another
                                                  important
                                                  consideration is that
                                                  we want to structure
                                                  the process in a way
                                                  that encourages
                                                  candidates to run.
                                                  Having our assessments
                                                  of their strengths and
                                                  weaknesses made public
                                                  could be an unpleasant
                                                  experience for
                                                  potential candidates,
                                                  discouraging them from
                                                  seeking positions. <br>

                                                  whom would have made
                                                  an excellent NomCom
                                                  rep - but they are
                                                  principles of general
                                                  importance. So how
                                                  should these
                                                  considerations be
                                                  balanced against our
                                                  fundamental
                                                  responsibility to
                                                  execute a transparent
                                                  and accountable
                                                  process, and one which
                                                  inspires confidence
                                                  among the membership
                                                  of the NCUC?<br>

                                                  the path forward
                                                  depends on you - the

                                                  for more transparency
                                                  - your timing could
