Gwneir pob penodiad ar sail teilyngdod. Yn unol ag argymhellion gwreiddiol Nolan, mae'n ofynnol cyhoeddi gweithgarwch gwleidyddol y rhai a benodir (os oes rhai wedi'u datgan). Nid yw Ms Stannard wedi ymgymryd ag unrhyw weithgarwch gwleidyddol yn ystod y pum mlynedd diwethaf. Mae Mr Wilshaw yn aelod o’r Blaid Lafur ac yn aelod o grŵp LGBT y Blaid Lafur. Mae wedi canfasio ar ran y Blaid Lafur yn ystod etholiadau seneddol y DU yn 2017 a 2019. Mae hefyd wedi cynnig sylwadau i Radio Cymru ar y Blaid Lafur ar brydiau. Nid yw Mr Wilshaw na Ms Stannard yn dal unrhyw benodiadau cyhoeddus gweinidogol eraill yng Nghymru.
