That sounds like exactly the opposite of a rational sequence.

Nomcom's always do an early filter against clear inadequacy.  If that leaves no 
candidates, they search for more.

This is like doing late-stage reviews, after a working group has been operating 
for two years, and raising strategic concerns about their entire apporach:  Good 
issues, but at the wrong time.
