[Epdp-dt] Candidate Confidentiality

[Carlos Raul Gutierrez]

I support Donna's position, particularly as the expectation on
neutrality (perceived or real) may depend on the eye of the beholder. 

As Michelle expressed during one of the meetings, who has no vested
interest in the results of this PDP? 

safe travels to all

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.

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.
