informed.

Chuck: Not sure I agree here. My understanding is the following: 1) We say
that the SGs decide who, if any, will be allocated to four slots; 2)the Council
will decide on the other two slots. Do you think we need to be more explicit
about that?

Chuck: I have several concerns about asking applicants to specify which slot
they want: 1) It would require us to more carefully define the slots to
applicants so they could make an informed decision and I don't think there is
enough time for to do that or to answer questions that would arrise; 2) some
applicants will likely choose a slot or slots for which we don't think they
fit; 3) if we did ask applicants to choose a slot or slots, I think SGs and the
Council for the two open slots should still have the option to endorse a
candidate for a slot they didn't choose, so what would the advantage be of
asking candidates to choose? 4) in general, I think asking candidates to choose
slots adds complexity that we do not have time for without commensorate value.
