I suggest to keep the official candidates and the amount of candidates
secret until after the nomination deadline. Candidates can of course
announce their candidacy publicly, but I hope that when the official
list is not known, nobody will run just because we do not have 11
persons yet (or something like that). I also hope this avoids the
not-so-known people from responding when they see the 'big names' on the
list.
