I tend to agree with Dave.  I see no reason why the confirming
bodies should say "no" for any reason except process problems.  They
do not do the research the nomcom does, they do not have the time
nomcom does and we (globally) should not expend the energy to
conduct two seperate analyses.

But,

Brian- Can you sketch a hypothetical scenario where you believe it
would be appropriate (for example) for the IAB to reject an AD
choice made by the nomcom -- given that everyone is comfortable with
the process followed by the nomcom?  

Maybe something specific would illustrate the point you're making to
some of who do not Get It.
