Also, if you don't agree with the approach taken by this year's  
NomCom, you may take comfort in the knowledge that they will most  
likely be gone when the next panel is randomly selected.  The more  
vociferous the objectors are, presumably the more likely they are to  
put their hands up for the next NomCom, and therefore the more likely  
to find places on it.  (And in the meantime, this is a timely debate  
for us to have for future NomComs' guidance.)
