That information may be used to inform Nomcom choices about processes and criteria, but Nomcom N may also move in different directions --at their discretion and within whatever constrains exist in 3777 and its offspring. Neither Nomcom N nor anyone else get access to information about actual candidates, candidate statements, input about candidates, or Nomcom discussion of candidates. In other words, "deliberations and results" is about principles and process, not candidates. Otherwise, this text would be, IMO, hopelessly inconsistent with the rest of 3777. john
