Perhaps using the ARIN model for this would be a good idea.

IIRC, after someone in nominated, they are asked to fill out a small questionnaire. Things like Organization, Org URL, Why do you want to serve on the AC?, Describe how your professional goals and experience are relevant, Describe your technical (especially IP) and professional qualifications for filling an AC seat, etc.

Also, an important question is:

Please provide detailed biographical information to include all experience, activities, associations, and affiliations (national and international) relevant to serving on the AC. Describe positions held, and your specific duties, achievements, and levels of responsibility. Include the names of organizations served and dates of service.

Realising the above is specific to the AC, I believe with simple modifications, these questions would serve the NANOG community well in letting us feel comfortable with the nominees.

While it's not quite as specific as above, don't the candidate bios
<http://www.nanog.org/candidates05.html> serve much the same purpose?

Quick glance at the bios seem to fairly cogently list candidates'
current employment and responsibilities as well as relevant activities.

So, are we missing something? Should we be adding candidate position
statements and such?

there are at least two folk on the list who are pretty much
purely marketing. hard to tell from that page.
