    <p>Hi Cynthia,</p>
    <p>One of the reasons volunteers are asked to send their names
      off-list is to prevent people from assuming they don't need to
      bother if somebody else has already expressed interest. This is
      also why no potential candidates are named in the email.</p>
    I can understand the transparency concern, but I trust that
    volunteers will be vocal on the list if they are not included in the
    list of volunteers, even though they expressed interest.<br>
    <br>
    Kind regards,<br>
    David<br>
