The advisor is the Immediately previous chair, or a member of the previous
noncom designated by that chair if he/she declines to serve or is otherwise
unavailable.

The document says:
o Bullet 3, paragraph 1 is replaced by this:
The nominating committee comprises at least a
Chair, 10 voting volunteers, 4 liaisons, and an

The Past Chair is missing.
The adviser is not required, as implied by the "at least" in
this sentence.
Also, if I understand properly, the ISOC BoT is allowed to
provide a liaison, but they are not required to do so.
Russ,
Isn't the "advisor" the "Past Chair" in the context of that
sentence? Note that "comprises at least a Chair, 10 voting
volunteers, 3 liaisons, and an advisor" comes straight out of
3777, where it is the first paragraph of item 3 of Section 4.
To avoid making the text ambiguous, confusing, or overly
sensitive to things that might change as other things evolve,
would it to be appropriate to say:
The nominating committee is comprised of a Chair, ten
voting volunteers, the immediate past nominating
committee Chair in an advisory capacity, plus liaisons
and optional additional advisor(s) as described in
Section 4 of RFC 3777.
