That's reasonable enough, but, as I said in
my earlier email, this
committee would need to consist only of current board
members, which rather
limits our ability to do anything creative.
I think there's a possibility of having the committee include non-board
members.
There's already talk about making the candidates statements and other
info public (not yet decided and I don't really know the rules or
other details of the selection process) and also talk about making
some of the discussions available to private members-only fora within
a chapter. (I guess with someone that has access to both manually
copy/pasting between them.)
Anyway, if you do choose a candidate selection/evaluation committee
that includes non-board members then I think it should be possible to
get them subscribed to both the list and wiki. (i.e. you ask and you
get at least one supportive response and no objections)
That's not my impression; even under normal circumstances, the chapters
wiki (as opposed to the internal wiki) is restricted to chapter board
members and employees, and there's currently discussion about removing even
the latter for the duration of the selection process.
We will, of course, continue to follow the discussions there; but, at this
point, I don't see any indication that the process is going to be made
substantially more open than it currently is.
Cheers,
Kirill
