Hello Bastiaan and all, 

The task of the BCEC is to identify applicants who would each make an excellent Board Director.  Through its evaluation process, the BCEC has identified those applicants who best meet the published Candidate Requirements and have announced those names on the BCEC Slate of Candidates.  Information received, obtained, generated, or considered by the BCEC regarding Candidate EoI Forms and any discussions or deliberations of the BCEC’s regarding Candidates remains confidential.  However, a Candidate may themselves choose to make public the details of their Expression of Interest.

Hope this information helps. 

Best regards,
Ariel

Etc. Is there somewhere I can read why the BCEC recommends these two, and not the others?
    
    thanks,

I have received a response from the Chair of the Board Management Selection Process Committee that we do NOT have 10 days to conduct a vote, as other RALO would only consider our request, should our request already be ratified by EURALO. Also, since the request has come so late, this would involve a decision of the BMSPC to show flexibility in accepting a petition beyond the original petition closing date which was Thursday 19 January 2017.
