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.
