My understanding is that the NomCom consists of 7 people. Of those, 2 come from 
the board and 2 come from the AC. Together, those 4 members of the existing 
establishment choose the remaining 3 NomCom members. In the past, there was at 
least the appearance of random selection for some of the NomCom members. But in 
any case, due to its composition, the NomCom has the appearance of a body 
biased in favor of the existing establishment.

Please correct any misunderstanding that I might have. Otherwise, I encourage 
an update to the structure of future NomComs.

Cheers,
-Benson
