Hi Alexander,
As for the status of Montage requests: I suggest that you start a separate
thread on that, and would like to leave this to the maintainers to respond
to.
As for publishing the settings: I was imagining some kind of log-style
publication, not a near write-up. This won't be pretty, but it will allow
people to figure out how it worked out in practice. If we follow a logical
naming convention, people should be able to puzzle it together. Ideally,
the national organizers also publish their process on the website, but this
log would be a way to verify that. But I accept your note that we may need
to add a context explaining that more process may happen before/after this
tool is used.

Dear Lodewijk,
We also intend to publish by default the settings of the montage jury
tool, and the number of photos in each round that the national competitions
have used. We're debating whether there should be an opt-out for this year.
This is unrealistic, because jury process may involve several campaigns
that are later merged together (in Russia, we do it all the time in order
to meet your submission deadline). Moreover, some of the photos can be
accepted for the next round within Montage but excluded later on if we find
that they do not depict cultural heritage. The end result is that any
number you take from Montage will not match the number of photos that we
publish (e.g., as a short-list). This will only lead to confusion and won't
be of any use for anyone.
Since you mentioned Montage, let me also ask when two important pull
requests, which were done by one of our team members, are going to be
merged into the code:
https://github.com/hatnote/montage/pull/169
https://github.com/hatnote/montage/pull/175
These are really, really important fixes. Without them I would have a
problem creating new Montage campaigns in October.
Sincerely,
Alexander

Hi all,
over the past years, we have had various requests to encourage national
organizers to be transparent in their judging processes and who sits on
their jury. Most of the national organizers are currently transparent about
this already. In the past weeks/month, more conversation around this has
continued with some concerns (valid or not) on certain jury processes.
In this light, the international team intends to institute a new
expectation for national organizers, namely to publish the members of their
jury (be it their username or real life name) at some point. We have not
figured out the practical details yet, but I can imagine that while we
encourage publication on the website, we would ask national organizers to
add a list of jury members to their submission to the international jury -
which we then will publish as well.
We also intend to publish by default the settings of the montage jury
tool, and the number of photos in each round that the national competitions
have used. We're debating whether there should be an opt-out for this year.
We will of course apply at least the same level of transparency to the
international jury.
Before we make this decision, I would like to ask for feedback on this,
and whether there are edge cases we should consider where such transparency
would be harmful. I'll take 1 week to gather some feedback on this, and
then we'll make a final decision. You can respond to this on this mailing
list, or privately to me.
Warmly,
Lodewijk
