Re: [ietf-nomcom] Confidentiality and information from former NomCom members

["Joel M. Halpern" <jmh at joelhalpern.com>]

I don't read things the same way you do.
I don't think someone who was on nomcom A and is now on nomcom B can 
tell B "nomcom A, in discussing person X, found major problem Y."  Nor, 
in fact, can they relay any other aspects of the discussion within 
nomcom A to nomcom B.
They can say "Personally, I have problem Y with person X."
There are of course multiple gray areas in between.

Assuming that my reading is accurate, I would also prefer not to change 
that.  (To take an extreme example, I have a fairly good archive of last 
year's nomcom.  As far as I am concerned I can not, and should not be 
allowed to, forward that archive to Mary, or to her committee, even 
though I am an advisor to that committee and presumably allowed to 
provide personally known factual information to that committee.)

Yours,
Joel
