Hi,

(Same disclaimer, speaking for myself)

I see.  I think it would be inappropriate for the person who selects the nomcom chair to be involved in activities that attempt to adjust what the nomcom evaluates, because it might appear to be an attempt to put a finger on the scale.  So I think it would not be advisable for me to be involved in this activity.

Best regards,

A
