It would seem to me that being a non-voting member is being a second
class member
of the group. Given the relative lack of importance to voting in the
IETF, it is not
obvious to me that any person who is expected to participate in
discussions should be excluded.
In particular, one (at least I) would not expect the IAB chair to be
particularly irresponsible.
Can anyone explain why certain positions are non-voting?

Margarets draft-wasserman-iasa-bcp-01.txt states (bottom

There will also be two non-voting, ex officio liaisons:
o The IAB Chair
o The IETF Administrative Director
[Note: There is some question about whether the IAB
Chair should be a
liaison or a full member of the IAOC. There are
multiple trade-offs
here, and this should be discussed by the community.]
During the Plenary last wednesday there were
suggestions/proposals to
make IAB chair a voting member.
That makes a lot of sense to me
