Yes, it seems that Nomcom relies on the questionnaires and interviews 
instead of having first-hand knowledge of the possible candidates.

Is there an issue for which it would be more efficient for a person 
with knowledge of the inner workings to get the information from the 
IAOC?  If that is not the case, the healthy choice would be for 
Nomcom to ask questions about the job requirements and/or the 
operations of the body.
