No Jim, according to the process, WG Chairs Collective makes that decision and RIPE Community is left to endorse it, or not. The process reads: "The RIPE community will endorse the candidate put forward by the WG Chair collective." So practically RIPE Community will have the option of "objecting to a name" or "accepting the name". It is a very drastic measure to take compared to selecting names from a pool of candidates.

I have even more concerns that NOMCOM only hands-over a shortlist to the WG Chairs Collective, who ultimately selects the Chair.
Nope. The RIPE Community ultimately makes that decision. The WGCC should select the best candidate from the shortlist. But the RIPE Community decides if the WGCC made the right choice.
