<div>While I agree that we should encourage candidates to make as much of their applications public as possible, I believe conflict of interest statements _must_ be made public. This is an issue of great public interest and will rightfully attract
    public scrutiny. We have the right to know if a candidate to be chair of the EPDP has declared a conflict of interest. </div>
<div>
    <br />
</div>
<div>I also note that it is existing practice with Review Teams for the applications to be posted publicly, including motivation statements. </div>
<div>
    <br />
</div>
<div>This EPDP is not the time to discard all of our past practices around accountability and transparency. It is bad enough we are scrapping bottom-up multistakeholder participation and reducing the opportunities for public comment. </div>

                                    <div>Apologies for missing this discussion yesterday. I want to express my reservations about the agreement that the EPDP Chair candidate names be made public. I believe they should be confidential or, at a minimum, the
                                        candidates should at least have the option to decide whether they wish to have their candidacy made public. Given the subject matter of this PDP, I thought we might be a bit more sensitive to privacy.</div>
                                    <div>
                                        <br />
                                    </div>
                                    <div>I’m also disappointed that the selection task falls to the leadership team. We established a standing selection committee for this purpose. I understand the concerns about being able to undertake the task quickly, but
                                        this same pressure will be on the leadership team as well. 
                                        <br />
                                        <br />If the candidate names are public this also puts considerable pressure on the leadership team in terms of lobbying and claims of bias in selection etc. We may also have potential conflicts of interest arise and
                                        as there is only three of us this would leave the job to two. The SSC is more representative of the GNSO and has a methodology in place for selections as a result of the processes they’ve undertaken to date.</div>
