QA and Comrel are special in that they can take disciplinary action against |
| 13 |
non-members, which there is no recourse against except appeal to the Council. |

If everything were transparent then I would tend to agree, however it is not. |
| 20 |
Comrel processes are often opaque, especially when it comes to the |
| 21 |
aforementioned disciplinary actions. I think sometimes even the individual |
| 22 |
votes are not public (only the final counts). When an appeal happens, then |
| 23 |
Council may get briefed in secret too. So evaluating the candidate based on |
| 24 |
public information becomes difficult. |
