As I was re-reading this thread, I came up with a fairly strange idea.

Let's let the Nomcom select the next Nomcom chair, with the approval of 
the IAB and IESG.

Minimum ( non-waivable) qualifications:  Must have served on the Nomcom 
within the last 6 years (not including the current one). Must not have 
served as chair within the last 10. Must have at least 2 up votes  
(recommendations) from people (voting members?) who were on their same 
Nomcom.  Must not be working for the same company as any of the previous 
5 chairs were when they served as chairs.  (Each of those numbers is 
arbitrary - can be twiddled for balance - here just as a suggested 
starting point)
