What Kurtis is pointing to is actually a change to the job description, so definitely a change that might have affected potential and current candidates.
there were two things: a change to the job description and separately that it may be changing from an unpaid to a paid position.
And possibly also a change from a part-time position, to a full time position. These are all fundamental elements of the job: - Job description - Time commitment required - Remuneration
Both these things would have had an impact on who might have been interested in applying because most people cannot afford to take a half- or full-time position like this on an nnon-paid basis. If I read this correctly, both suggestions were made after the nominations pool was closed.
This is concerning because potential candidates were implicitly excluded from applying due to changes made after the opportunity for applying was closed off.
I think that Kurtis’s suggestion:
I believe we should stop and think if we really need to press on or if we should let the variables settle and start when the full conditions are known.
...is a rather sensible and constructive one. Nurani
