So, a one time committee from 2008 made up of largely the same individuals as the ones who will decide now, in a closed process? Sure, though I think they might work with some dark conjuring magic and arcane rituals. :P Even if to assume that this closed unknown process would work again, it still leaves off half the process of advertising the position, arranging the actual interviews, logistics and then doing things like background checks etc.. Also, its better an outside firm approaches a candidate and corresponds with the board/WMF on their behalf, rather than what might be future colleagues/board members/boss interviewing and judging them first. I still think its better to leave those things to a professional firm.
