I've been assuming that we would just do another cycle with a new call for
nominations if we're asked to fill another slot. Presumably the IESG would
let us know when the nomcom would need to have selected the candidate for
the
opening.

I cannot speak for the nomcom, but I will note that this
would be asking nomcom to take on the responsibility of
appointing another area director, *after* the
call-for-candidates window has closed (the deadline for
suggesting a candidate for an IAB and IESG slot was the last
day of the Atlanta IETF meeting).
Hence, if a proposal involves additional work for the nomcom
at this late date, I would strongly urge that the Phil, as
this year's nomcom chair, be asked for his advice and consent
before such a plan is adopted.
