[Epdp-dt] Candidate Confidentiality

[Susan Kawaguchi]

Hi Donna,

If the council would like to rethink the use of the SSC for this selection
I am open to it but would think the Leadership team should be very
involved.

I disagree on the need for confidentiality of the candidates names.  We did
discuss not disclosing any details of the candidates beyond the SOI which
is required of all of us.

Although, GDPR concerns privacy ICANN operates best with transparency.

Best regards,

Susan
