We apologise, we've read your points and really appreciate the concern, but we have no intention of making applications public and have no plans to reconsider this stance.
We already maintain a processing list so assigning numbers and time stamps wouldn't be much work. We've also discussed leaving unscreened replies along the following when applications are received.
Your application has been received, as of 00:00 GMT! You are the ## applicant for this round.
We believe this provides ample transparency, as applicants will be able to corroborate the time, or contest it should there be an error. If there are mistakes or disputes, we will deal with them accordingly. We wouldn't dream of it, but we wouldn't be able to skip over an applicant who made the cutoff, anyway.
1. Joseph 00:16 GMT 2. Lisa 00:32 GMT 3. Susan 00:48 GMT
For example, Joseph, Lisa, and Susan apply, but only Joseph and Susan receive comments. Lisa can confirm from the list if she believes she has been missed, and bring the matter to our attention.
