So your point is that the chair of the nominating committee should  
not know who the candidates are?

You might consider the text in sections 4(3) and 5(9) of RFC 3777:

---------------------------

   3.  The nominating committee comprises at least a Chair, 10 voting
       volunteers, 3 liaisons, and an advisor.

---------------------------

   9.  All members of the nominating committee may participate in all
       deliberations.

       The emphasis of this rule is that no member can be explicitly
       excluded from any deliberation.  However, a member may
       individually choose not to participate in a deliberation.

---------------------------

I think the folks who want to comment in this thread should consider  
carefully how the nomination committee would manage to function if  
the advisor, liaisons, and chair, who are present in the discussions  
but do not vote, were not permitted to know the names of the  
individuals under discussion, and how they would respond to questions  
put to them regarding the nomcom process. The reason that the IAB  
ratifies decisions on the IESG, the IESG on the IAOC, and the ISOC  
Board on the IAB, are to ensure that the processes followed are  
reasonable and normal, and the ratifying bodies ask their liaisons  
(who were present for the discussions and observed the processes)  
questions regarding that.
