I think you're thinking of the nomcom as an ongoing body, with 
organizational memory.  That's not how it's presently defined.  Right now, 
it's a body which is formed once each year to complete a specific task.  
It does the task, and is immediately dissolved.  It doesn't set policies 
for future nomcoms, and next year's nomcom isn't comprised of people who 
were on this year's nomcom.  It's just a group of randomly-selected 
volunteers who perform a defined task once.  It produces a slate based 
upon its judgment and its collective best interpretation of its defined 
task.  If you want to influence its work, volunteer.
