True, but it isn't a big deal either. For neutrality I would like not
to disclose what are going on behind without consent of each
candidate, but personally I expect at least both Yann and Kate have
understanding why they are not yet "confirmed". I think as an
individual this kind of bureaucracy is a necessary evil which brings
benefits also, specially to avoid favoritism to particular candidates
and partial treatment of candidates each.

Also on an individual basis I would like to remind you all from the
same reason Election Committee do not invite any other personnel to
list "candidate" names to the endorsement pages. All such hasty
nomination should be discouraged, and soon removed with submitted
endorsements. Some editors would be happy to check if such happened on
their own endorsements.

Love,
