No it isn't. The real and current problem is that whenever a choice made by
NomCom looks strange to the confirming body, the latter is forced to ask
questions about details of NomCom process in order to evaluate its depth and
thoroughness. In more than one year, this has resulted in the NomCom contacting
more people and obtaining more input, which suggests that the confirming
bodies had something valid to worry about.
