So I suggest:

        determination of the requirements for the job, synthesized
        from the desires expressed by the IAB, IESG or IAOC (as
        appropriate), desires express by the community, and from the
        nominating committee's own assessment; it then advises each
        confirming body of its respective candidates; the nominating
        committee shall provide supporting materials that cover its
        selections, including the final version of requirements that
        the nominating committee used when making its selections;
        these requirements shall be made public after nominees are
        confirmed.


Comments?

Can the nomcom waive or otherwise ignore "objective" criteria such as "must 
have been a working group chair"?  (and lest someone claim that "must have 
congestion control expertise" is also an objective criteria - I will point out 
that the evaluation of that claim involves subjective judgement and the result 
can vary from evaluator to evaluator, as opposed to "must have been employed in 
a job which included "congestion control" in the job description for a minimum 
of 5 years is objective.).

And I'd still leave "understanding" rather than "determination"  in your 
re-phrasing to make it clear that the requirements must derive from the 
externally stated desires, wishes and hopes, rather than created whole cloth 
from the Nomcom's preferences.
