Alan:

Thanks for the comments on the process and request of information from the candidates.

My concern is that the process, in as much as possible - be as open and transparent as possible. Comments should, i think not only come from the candidates - but from all those involved in at-large.

Key positions, should - wherever possible be subject to comment, consultation, and an open and transparent process. Not sure if nominations/decisions have been done that way in the past. If they haven't, then we should change them. we have the occasion now , so let's try..
