The nomcom chair effectively has to make the list of positions public, in order to make an open call for nominations.
It was my understanding that the "description of the desirable set of qualifications" was new... I would like to see this made public, along with the list of positions.
More importantly though, as a member of one group that is expected to submit this description (are we planning to do one this year, BTW?), I'd like to know, unambiguously, whether it would be publicly disseminated or not before deciding what it should say.
