Mary;
Would you want the comments that are currently sent in privately to nomcom to become public, or do you want the voters to make their choices without hearing these comments?

[MB] No, I do not think the comments should be public. My point was that there is such a small percentage of the community that even provides input that it is really difficult to make really good decisions with that information. Each nomcom asks for detailed feedback, but it is rare to get feedback that provides concrete examples of why person x is the best choice for a position. That makes the job of the Nomcom extremely difficult and is one of the reasons why the decisions can be far from perfect.
The primary problem with the current Nomcom model that can't be fixed by a process change is the lack of community input (Note: there is still time for folks to provide that input for this year's Nomcom!!!) So, I consider voting to be an easy way for folks to express an opinion without providing details - it at least could hopefully broaden community participation because it takes far less effort.
