Complaints shall be confidential until such time as the Committee decides to issue a public statement, the Committee or its Chair decides to dismiss the complaint, or the respondent waives confidentiality, whichever occurs sooner. Complaint forms and campaign conduct pledges used by the Committee shall include language which notifies complainants and candidates of this restriction.
The respondent candidate may, at any time after a complaint is filed, and through written notice directed to the complainant and the Committee, waive the confidentiality provisions of these rules. In that event, the complaint, response, and Oversight Committee disposition (if any) shall become matters of public record. Committee investigatory and deliberation materials shall remain confidential.
