Jack, the NomCom should rank them. But PASS should not disclose the ranking when announcing the slate. This is like saying that he/she is worst of the batch so dont vote for them.

I'm not saying it is right or wrong, I'm just giving the reason for presenting the ranking. Many people in the community ask for more transparency and this is one of the areas PASS has chosen to be a little more transparent by saying, "The NomCom reviewed applications and interviewed the candidates and this is who they think are most qualified". Voters still have access to the candidates information and to the candidates through the chats, so each voter can choose how much information on each candidate they want to consume before deciding.

I think it will be an interesting election and hope we get closer to 2000 voters than we did last year. I think there are specific blocks of voters that will support each candidate based on something other than qualifications to do the job. And this is not an indictment on any of the incumbents, but I hope that Grant gets a seat, just so we get some turnover (this is probably Grant's block). Again, I think all the candidates are qualified, so I'm not knocking any of them. I know each candidate personally and have great respect for each of them and what they have done in their careers and for PASS.
