Only the names of the selected nominees and their statements please 
(I have a slight problem with part of my statement, had I been told 
it was public I would have written it slightly differently.  But I'll 
sort that out with the nomcom. Make clear where a change has been 
made or some such.  Only editorial, of a kind.)

One additional concern about candidate's expectation of privacy, 
Robert's email (nomcom chair) has what I think is a standard .sig:

"CONFIDENTIALITY CAUTION AND DISCLAIMER

I know what it says, but it's about the impression it gives.

So we should be using that process for the MAG.  That's a shame.

As soon as we have a voting membership (apologies for mentioning that 
again :-)  I think we need to re-write a lot of stuff.  But not now, 
May consultations first.

Better to call it Vittorio's site, he maintains it.  I just pay for the name.
