(and lest someone claim that "must have congestion control expertise" is also an objective criteria - I will point out that the evaluation of that claim involves subjective judgement and the result can vary from evaluator to evaluator, as opposed to "must have been employed in a job which included "congestion control" in the job description for a minimum of 5 years is objective.). And I'd still leave "understanding" rather than "determination" in your re-phrasing to make it clear that the requirements must derive from the externally stated desires, wishes and hopes, rather than created whole cloth from the Nomcom's preferences.
