ummm, if you have values articulated, then you have already identified
who is CS (those who do the articulating).

probably.

So how do we address the issue in future NomCom's? Do we need to amend
the charter?

I think we can just amend this page:

http://www.igcaucus.org/nomcom-process.html

which reads:

4. All nomcom participants, voting and non voting, will be
disqualified from selection as candidates for the list or team being
chosen. Members of the current appeals team will also be disqualified
from being chosen.

If we add "No disqualification can be made based upon the type of
employment undertaken by members."

That should fix future post-hoc political hanky panky.
