I believe you seriously misconstrued the difference between some random task-force and the process of selection of a Chairman of an entity with an approximately 35 million euro budget and 25,000'ish members.
I'm with Nick on this one, it "looks troubling". In fact, the optics of this process "suck" and with great respect to Sander and Joe's comment about the nomcom earlier in the email thread, I'm not sure the nomcom has done a good job so far.
Just my thoughts.
