Chris,

My take is that some modest campaigning on the discuss list might be in
order.  For instance listing qualifications for a few candidates that you
think are important, but were not included.

I have no problem with people updating the nomination text but that
doesn't mean that people who have reviewed the list already will be going
back to see the updates.

Best regards,
