I think some of Laksminath's concern is valid.
But I think the solution to the problem is simple:
Make it publicly known who is on the technical staff that supports the
Nomcom, and make it clear that these people:
1) May learn Nomcom information as a side effect of their technical work to
support Nomcom
2) Have promised not to reveal that information to others, and have
promised not to take any other action based on that information (apart from
fixing technical problems)
This is analogous to the role of an email postmaster: He *can* read any
mail on the system, if he really wants to, but we trust him to not *do* it
- or, if he has to during debugging, we trust him to "forget" what he's
read.
I trust that Henrik thought this was "so obvious it didn't need mentioning".

Fred,
When I saw a non-nomcom member having access to what I thought was
nomcom-confidential, I was very concerned and now doubt the entire
process. I was told that it is secure, but it has not been verified as
far as I can tell. At this point, no offense to the tools team, I remain
unconvinced.
