The NOMCON is by design accountable to nobody. Members cannot influence their selection in any (legitimate) way. Once appointed a NOMCON member cannot expect to be reappointed.
However the Nomcom consists of a cross-section of the community all of whom see the same input from the community as to the suitability the candidates for the jobs. The members of the Nomcom keep each other honest because for every member of the Nomcom that has a particular partisanship there are 9 others with a different agenda, at least 8 of whom work for a different organization. Provided the selection pool is sufficiently large the probability of a skewed Nomcom is small and the process works fairly. - Stewart _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
