There is a very noted cognitive dissonance here. I don't see how it would be more grueling to be "frankly and freely" discussed in private, than being so discussed in public. If that was what was genuinely happening. In practise what appeared to be the thing that needed to be shielded from the public gaze was the process, not the candidates or any speech about them. I am sorry, but I have call them as I see them. -- -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
