Well - in my eyes transparency is not something optional that can be 
added when time permits in case of a working group of the OSMF.

Also keep in mind that you are probably depriving yourselves from a lot 
of valuable support this way.  I for example would never participate in 
such a process from either the bidding side or the evaluation/decision 
side without at least basic transparency in the decision making 
process.  

And the presence of confidential information somewhere is usually a 
straw man argument in transparency cases.  Confidential data is almost 
never required to make a decision process transparent.

But this is just my personal view of course and i am not in a position 
to impose this on anyone so it is safe to just ignore my opinion here.
