Here is an example of another very complex appointment process. Angelo N. Ancheta in his paper "Redistricting Reform and the California Citizens Redistricting Commission" described the process of selecting commissioners thus:
The selection process for the Commission is also carefully structured to limit partisanship and to check institutional power. The process requires the creation of an independent Applicant Review Panel composed of staff from the Bureau of State Audits, a state agency that serves as an independent auditor of the state’s financial and operational activities. The Panel, which must be composed of one Democrat, one Republican, and one member of neither party, must screen applications in order to reduce the applicant pool down to sixty candidates (twenty Democrats, twenty Republicans, and twenty of neither party). These sixty individuals are the most qualified applicants based on “relevant analytical skills, ability to be impartial, and appreciation for California’s diverse demographics and geography.” Once the pool is reduced to sixty candidates, the four legislative leaders—the Speaker of the Assembly, the Assembly Minority Floor Leader, the Senate President Pro Tempore, and the Senate Minority Floor Leader—can remove up to two applicants from each of the three subpools.... The remaining candidates are then placed into a lottery, where three Democrats, three Republicans, and two from neither party are chosen from a randomized selection process. This group comprises the first eight members of the Commission. The eight then choose the remaining six to form the full fourteen-member commission.
