You may notice that there isn't any intersection with the previous list.

I think you are overlooking that some of the people in the first list
have been in liaison positions in NomCom; in terms of understanding
NomCom's challenges, that is sufficient. In any case, the difficulty
of finding available candidates is quite apparent.

I agree with you that the views of the I* Chairs are important.

In the case of the IETF Chair I believe the issue is that it's
highly desirable, from a governance viewpoint, that the IETF Chair
has *personal* responsibility in IAOC decisions, and therefore should
be a voting member as a matter of principle.

I don't believe that argument applies to the IAB Chair - we should
IMHO have a collective goal to sharply reduce the IAB's involvement
in administrative issues, so that it can do its architectural and
liaison jobs properly. Delegating the IAB Chair role in the IAOC
would be a step in that direction, along with appointing the permanent
RFC Series Editor.

We haven't discussed the third proposed delegation, that of the ISOC
President's seat, very much. Assuming it was delegated to another
officer of ISOC, that would seem reasonable too. But it shouldn't
be delegated to just anybody, IMHO.
