[governance] NomCom nomination statments - To publish or not to Publish

[Taran Rampersad]

Avri,

By nomination, it's implicit that a person's information relevant to the 
nomination be made public. If someone takes issue with that, or claims 
ignorance, perhaps they should consider withdrawing their names. 
Anything otherwise makes for a less than transparent process. If 
nominees don't want to be part of a transparent process, I for one am 
certain that I would not support the results of the process because of 
the opacity.

Everything else has been quite open to public scrutiny. If nominees 
cannot withstand it, then perhaps they should not be nominees.
