Under the current circumstance, where the person they pick goes directly to
fill the position, that is indeed necessary.

But if the NomCom were actually only choosing candidates for an election
slate, it should be flexible enough to allow for some diversity of
approaches and experience. It would not need to be as strict. Rather than
choosing three people for (say) the Board it would create a slate of nine
or ten candidates from which the voters would pick the three. In this case
the main role for the NomCom is more to eliminate the non-serious (and bias
towards skills needs) than to pick the best people. That is the job of the
electorate.
