There is a special past-past chair advisor. The explanation for that is "this year is so strange". Making such an appointment was not discussed during the evaluation of the document which was published as RFC 8788. There isn't any information about which rule(s) was used to make that appointment.

The list at [1] also includes Henrik as a tools team advisor.

One might presume that the NomCom chair intends to propose both additional advisors to the NomCom according to the usual process in section 4.3 of RFC8713. It is odd to see them announced before the voting memebers of NomCom are seated.

It is interesting how the number of non-voting NomCom members has grown over time. This list has nine(!) non-voting members, and that is before the voting members have been seated and potentially added more. NomCom 2019 had 8. NomCom 2018 had 7. NomCom 2017 had 6. NomComs 2016 and 2015 each had only 5. [2]

If I were a voting member of this NomCom, I would be concerned about being overwhelmed by advisors, particularly since the advisors get a vote on procedural matters, including the removal of voting NomCom members.

[2] n.b. I'm looking at the lists at [1]. It is possible these NomComs added advisors that are not listed. I'm pretty sure NomCom 2015 added Henrik as an advisor.
