I disagree.  If IETF personal decisions (IAOC committees, IAB appointments, IESG appointments, nomcom selections, hiring staff) are required to be are fully transparent, then very few people will volunteer.  No one wants to see in public that they were not selected because they were unfit, not as good as someone else, or whatever.

Not everything in the IETF can be fully transparent.  I think what the IAOC did in this case, and what it usually done for the NomCom and related selections are fine in my view.
