Mary;

Would you want the comments that are currently sent in privately to nomcom to 
become public, or do you want the voters to make their choices without hearing 
these comments?

Sure, we just set up a (two-tier?) membership structure and have all the
members vote. Easy.

[MB] You don't need a membership structure to have voting - you just allow 
anyone that has attended the requisite number of meetings per the Nomcom 
process to vote - i.e., if you are qualified to be a voting member of the 
Nomcom, you can vote.    I personally believe that voting would be better than 
the current model.  As it is, a very small percentage of the participants 
actually contribute to the process in the form of nominating or providing 
feedback:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-barnes-nomcom-report-2009-00 (section 6.2)

So, making it easier to provide input in the form of a vote might actually get 
more folks caring about who the leaders are.    It would also save a tremendous 
amount of work on the part of the folks that serve on the Nomcom.  [/MB]

[Also, ducking]

Mary.
