My hit is that we should leave it to nomcom.  I generally give
nomcom input on particular cnadidates, but also on particular
skills/traits I am interested in.  I'd say we can all funnel our own
feelings to nomcom and we should not have a lengthy debate on what
those should be.  (The most advice I'd want to give nomcom would be:
please solicit input on the skills/traits that are important, not
just on candidates.  But, I assume they know that already.)
