I was thinking that it may be useful to have something that isn't so
accessible to the general public. Obviously I don't know much about
what kind of problems AMs might face, but I was thinking that if an AM
had questions like:
- is answer A sufficient for this question?
- the NM's answer isn't quite what I wanted. What hints can I give him
to point him in the right direction?
- is this set of questions sufficient for testing {some task that may be
relatively new to the NM process}
the AM might not want the discussion to be completely public at the
time, so that the NM won't be looking over his shoulder, making the
questions not-so-useful in assessing the NM.
But maybe that's what nm-committee@ is for.
