We didn't change the process, Thomas. Last time the Call for Candidates was
also public and in meta, and the timeline and process. All the voting (if
we get to that) will be held in chapters wiki (wich is private) and not in
meta.

The real names, obviously not. The usernames may be published - IF the
candidate has no problem with that.
Last time, the chapters decided to keep the process very confidential
in order to allow free and frank discussion of the candidates. It was
felt that it would be good to have confidential discussions, in
contrast to the public ones that are associated with the community
elected seats, because that might attract different candidates than
would stand for the community elected seats (ie. candidates that don't
want lots of discussion about every good and bad quality they have
happening in public - the selection process can involve a much greater
intrusion on privacy than actually serving on the board does).
Was it a conscious decision by the chapters to change that approach? I
was under the impression that you had decided to stick with the same
process we used last time.
