    A general comment - this can be taken to silly extremes. Getting a set of
    qualifications from the body in question is good, but it is hardly the
    whole story. I think it needs to be clear that the nomcom is expected to
    use its own judgement in addition to getting a general set of
    qualifications from the IESG or IAB.

For completeness, I would like to point out that Section 5 Item 13 says:


   13.  The nominating committee advises the confirming bodies of their
        candidates, specifying a single candidate for each open position
        and a testament as to how each candidate meets the
        qualifications of an open position.

        For each candidate, the testament must include a brief statement
        of the qualifications for the position that is being filled,
        which may be exactly the qualifications that were requested.  If
        the qualifications differ from the desired qualifications
        originally requested a brief statement explaining the difference
        must be included.

        The testament may include either or both a brief resume of the
        candidate or a brief summary of the deliberations of the
        nominating committee.
