I agree wholeheartedly with this.

We have rough consensus for the current process. It should proceed as-is.

Introducing a delay is not going to help. If anything, it will add unwelcome risks and uncertainties at this very critical point.

The concerns that Nick and others have raised are reasonable in principle. But sadly they are not timely. Besides, there’s no (rough) consensus for adding a further delay or finding some other way to resolve these concerns. IMO that means the pragmatic approach is to continue with the current process and timetable.

We can surely trust the Nomcom to have taken note of these concerns as part of their deliberations. So let them do their job.

The appointment process will get reviewed after it has been run. That will be the appropriate time and place to consider these concerns and make whatever adjustments are thought necessary for the next time an appointment needs to be made.
