However the Nomcom consists of a cross-section of the community
all of whom see the same input from the community as to the suitability
the candidates for the jobs.

The members of the Nomcom keep each other honest because for
every member of the Nomcom that has a particular partisanship
there are 9 others with a different agenda, at least 8 of whom
work for a different organization. Provided the selection pool is
sufficiently large the probability of a skewed Nomcom is small
and the process works fairly.
