Brian,
Thanks! Not sure that this changes anything with respect to the rest
of the
IESG, however...

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.
