I think a call would be imperative at the moment. I'm not quite sure about our candidates after having reviewed the applications. I'm tending to state the need to send out another call for candidates to be honest. So a call would surely help maybe change my mind and help take this forward as we are short on time as far as I know.

That's nice of them to take the time - but I don't think it's<br>
necessarily something we need.<br>
<br>
There's two ways that this can go. Either they're going to express<br>
support for a particular candidate(s), or they're going to provide<br>
some background and insight into the current composition of the PC,<br>
and what's needed, and such.<br>
<br>
If the first case - I think it would be inappropriate. I think we need<br>
to have our own process: they have their reps, we have ours, and I'd<br>
worry a bit that if they expressed their opinions it would unduly sway<br>
people from making up their own minds based on the candidates.<br>
<br>
If the latter - I guess there's no harm, but I also don't really see a<br>
strong need. I feel like there's already a lot of background material<br>
to aid in our decision-making.<br>
<br>
But that's just me - of course - and I've already weighed in on the<br>
candidates myself.<br>
