I disagree.  If IETF personal decisions (IAOC committees, IAB appointments, 
IESG appointments, nomcom selections, hiring staff) are required to be are 
fully transparent, then very few people will volunteer.  No one wants to see in 
public that they were not selected because they were unfit, not as good as 
someone else, or whatever.

Not everything in the IETF can be fully transparent.  I think what the IAOC did 
in this case, and what it usually done for the NomCom and related selections 
are fine in my view.
