The IETF Executive Director, who is part of the Secretariat, already has a role in NomCom. The IETF Executive Director provides the requirements for the open positions.

Would you be more comfortable if the Executive Director were named as the responsible party?

Yes. I'd be even more comfortable if the text could be inclusive, for example that either NomCom chair or IETF exec director could send out the announcement, but if shared responsibility seems like a bad idea, I can accept that argument.

From 10K view I have another meta-comment:

The change proposal seems to be based on the assumption that the delays in ISOC president choosing a new NomCom chair may be recurring. Maybe there will be difficulties in finding a chair (e.g. interviewing them etc.), because the obvious, simplest fix (no changes needed to the process) would be to just select the nomcom chair earlier.
