My past experience as a returning officer, as a
candidate, and as a
candidate's agent in elections suggests that allowing candidates or
potential candidates a running commentary of candidates standing
negatively influences the fairness of an electoral process - and this
is particularly true when only a subset of potential candidates is
getting this information.
I don't think you can keep that kind of information from the board.
The board are responsible for holding the AGM and running the election
correctly, they need to know what is going on.
