The three individuals who are put forward to be shortlisted will be notified. Anybody who is not shortlisted can request and ask but will not be notified unless he or she requests it. If people are within the top three, they will be notified. A person can request to be notified or not. It applies if an individual requests to be notified. It had been the case that everybody would be notified following discussion and engagement. On a request put forward, it is now the case that if somebody requests to know, that person will get the information, but if they do not request the information they will not get it.
