Note that the current NomCom chair has no prior NomCom experience. 
I suspect this was not for lack of asking prior NomCom participants.
I suggest being careful adding constraints to a position that many people
do not want. Or adding length of term / time commitment (e.g., 3 years 
as chair-elect, chair, and then past chair advisor, instead of the current 2).
