John,

      I considered this before making my reply, especially in light of a 
number of recent
events with which I am intimately familiar.

      To become the Chair of the IESG involves a second level of selection 
that is much
more political.  You have to be selected - I believe - for the role by your 
peers on the IESG.

You believe wrongly. The NomCom nominates the IETF Chair, who also serves
as IESG Chair and as AD for the General Area.

This then is a matter for the IESG, more than the NomCom, or the IETF as a 
whole.

      This is - I feel sure - one of the things that a NomCom has to consider 
in picking folks
for IESG membership: there needs to be at least one AD on the IESG that is 
both willing and
able to take on this role.

That applies to the IAB, but not to the IESG.
