The next best way is to serve on the nominating committee. If someone has not served on the committee, not nominated anyone, and not commented on any nomination, they’re just complaining.

One of the advantages of the public call for volunteers is that it 
allows folks to know about the opening before it is filled.  No, by 
itself it will not solve the problems.  But it enables many 
improvements.  I do know that there are some corner cases where ADs have 
had reasons for not making public calls.  But I think it is a good tool.
