Why would SQL Pass want to list the candidates in the order of committee ranking? The slate has been ratified, so it should be just the names of the candidates in no order.

Sorry, dont agree with the wording of that email.

What email? Did you receive a ballot email?

Connector from PASS. Their wordings "The candidates, listed in order of their Nomination Committee ranking, are James Rowland-Jones, Sri Sridharan, Wendy Pastrick, and Grant Fritchey. "

Personally I think this is OK, though I'd like to see the rankings to understand. It is 74, 73, 72, 71 or is it 74, 64, 50, 20?

The NomCom does something, so they should disclose rankings. Not that I think Grant is the least qualified, but the others should be better suited. They have experience on the board. It's a weird, strange thing that's unlike working in tech, and there are lessons to be learned over time.

Now, personally I'll vote Grant because I want changes to happen. JRJ has pushed for change and made things happen. Not sure what else has changed because of Sri/Wendy, though I'm not saying they didn't do a good job. I just don't know.

Just because they do something, that means we should know how fit a candidate is for the position? Are they electing them for us, or are we voting to elect them? For some random, can't seem to remember, reason </snark>, I might not always trust the judgement of the NomCom to match my own, good intentions or no. Therefore, why even introduce that into the process?

NomCom = weed out those who are truly unfit, nothing more. They should be like an HR person screening resumes. Don't give me the one who has been only flipping burgers for the last ten years, but don't try to hire the candidate for me.
