Factually incorrect in a number of ways. The NomComm system was set up to
keep personal politics out of the selection process (or at least keep it to a
minimum). And it wasn't the 'DARPA' system - it resulted from discussion
among a number of people in the IETF.

The last thing the IETF needs is elections.
