I think we need to acknowledge that the confirming body (IAB)
effectively has veto power over those criteria/requirements,
since it can reject candidates who were selected by evaluation
against those criteria.
Well, for what it's worth ... people willing to be considered would
probably like to know what the description Nomcom uses really is, and so
would people being asked to comment on willing nominees. As a member of
one of the confirming bodies, I would like to know what Nomcom thinks
the description is, when I'm considering candidates to confirm.

p.s. For the brave souls who are still reading - my understanding of the
process is that Nomcoms ask for feedback on willing nominees, and then
get feedback on what the description should be as part of feedback on
nominees. If you think nominees read position descriptions, Nomcoms
might end up with willing nominees that more closely match the position
description if the Nomcom collects feedback on the position description
before providing it as part of a call for nominations.
I'm not suggesting two calls for feedback (one on the descriptions/needs
of the position, and one on the willing nominees). But how you give
potential nominees a the description they'll be considered against,
without asking the community for feedback and then deciding what the
position description is, and then asking for nominations, I couldn't say.
