I, personally, still like Dave's notion of the makeup of the nomcom
(with more experience than currently required) -- even though I
think that is against consensus at this point.  But, I'll throw out
some specifics...

  * no sitting member of the IESG or IAB (including those stepping
    down) 

  * 6 members of nomcom come from people who:
	are former members of the IAB or IESG with <= 4 years
	    between their service and nomcom selection, or
    	have their name on an IETF WG RFC published in the last 3
	    years (or, currently in the RFC Editor's queue, I
	    suppose), or
	chaired (or co-chaired) a WG that has produced at least one
	    RFC (includes current chairs and chairs whose WGs ended
	    <= 3 years ago)

  * 4 members that do not necessarily meet the above criteria, but
    have been to 3 out of the last 5 meetings 

While it is more complicated than the current system, I think it is
still way tractable (especially if people have to list their
qualifications when they volunteer -- hence, the facts they give
just need verified).  (And, the numbers can be adjusted... Harald
asked for specifics, so I sort of threw these together...)
