Hi; Today Behdad asked about why private list like membership-committee mailing list is public. We're using this list for asking information about applications, and even though vast majority of the responses are positive, there can be negative ones as well. For that reason, it's not good to make them public which might affect honest responses from reference people. My own opinion is to keep dialog about applications to be private. But I would like to know if there're some concerns related with decision. Any applicant whom his/her application is denied can easily ask the reason, and we can show it. Even with private list, we can keep transparency.
