Yes, we did use an outside firm to help us establish a baseline that  
we could use to help us with the evaluation of the candidates.

BTW - the processes used by the Nominating Committee are not "secret",  
but information about the Candidates and the specifics of the  
deliberations are. I think the restrictions are reasonable and lend  
themselves to attracting the best candidates. I would love to be able  
to tell everyone how I think the selections made did or didn't live up  
to my expectations - in fact, given that I'd like to this again, it  
would be in my interests to do so, but the fact is, its just not fair  
to the people that didn't get picked to go into the gory details.  
Every year, excellent candidates get passed over - its just not fair  
to them to have these details publicized.
