What is needed is someone who is fully engaged in the IAOC.
Having a vote doesn't automatically get you that. Indeed, I would
assume most votes are a formality, with decisions reached mostly by
consensus.
Both the IAOC and the Trust do in practice run on consensus. I believe that
the number of close votes, in the entire
history of both organizations, could be counted on the figure of one hand.

If, in fact, votes are close on a regular basis, the IAOC
likely has bigger problems, IMO.
Seems to me that having an I* chair vote is designed to force them to
pay attention and be accountable.
The key quesion, IMO, is whether it is acceptable to have an I* chair
offload the responsibility for paying attention and being engaged.
I'm hearing some say "yes" and others say "no".
