maybe if we increase to three self-selecting committees each validating
eachother it will look more open and bottom up.  how about four?

when things are opaque, closed, circular, ... it is as if the threat
model is the community.

sorry for snark; long day, half meetings, and it is not over

three things make the ietf nomcom process (see rfcs 3777 and 3797) feel
open and bottom up. 
  o volunteers are randomly selected
  o the pool is wide with a minimal (and some want to loosen further)
    barrier to entry
  o the nomination and selection process is open and transparent (except
    when it gets personal)
