John,
If the selection method is random, it makes no difference whatsoever how
the list of nomcom volunteers is ordered. It only matters that the
numbered list become fixed and be posted before the selection
information is available. Alphabetic or the order they volunteered or
any other order is perfectly fine.

who gets selected is not appropriate. The sequencing of the volunteer
pool should probably use a randomization process that is demonstrably
independent of the randomization process that selects nomcom members
from that list.
