I would hope so. I think the problem area is more where the Nomcom
is trying to understand details of group interaction when a possibly
unfair negative comment has been made. If that is not something where
we expect the liaisons to be a source of input, that probably needs to
be made clear. As I said, currently the only prohibition on liaisons
is the one sentence about not voting on candidates. If there are to
be other restrictions, they should be written down IMHO.
