What makes me uncomfortable are the current and recent-past working relationships between the individuals involved - particularly that there are relationships of authority involved.
These seem unlikely to influence the Nomcom’s deliberations. Or if they did, those involved would do the right thing. As you said yourself Nick, you have no doubts about both the good intentions and the good standing of all the individuals involved. I’m struggling to understand why you’re uncomfortable. Are there any relationships of authority here? AFAICT none of the candidates are (or were) the boss of anyone on the Nomcom. Or vice versa. Though that doesn’t mean there could be perceptions that those relationships exist.
