Do you know what any of those criteria are? The voted members also have
certain expertise and skill-sets, and then they go through a voting
process.
The chapter-selected seats...nobody knows what criteria are being used,
what specific expertise is being sought, what skill-set is being selected
for. The end result, as best I can see from the first two rounds, is "the
same people who could easily have run for election, because they're well
known and widely active in the community".
Again, I can't speak on the specifics of the election process. Beyond that,
the chapter elected members, give their presentation, are nominated by a
chapter, and most of their expertise, are known to the individuals voting
for them. This seems similar to community elected members. I can not speak
about the need for privacy, ideally as much as can be public, should be. I
can understand requests to have certain amount of information made public,
but there also needs to be a safe place to discuss these issues.
