<div>There should be transparency here. I actually think candidate statements (and especially conflict of interest statements) should be made public. The claim of being "sensitive to privacy" is one I am finding difficult to understand. </div>

                                <div class="">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 class=""> </div>
                                <div class="">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 class="">
                                    <br class="">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>
