I'm hoping -- and maybe it's naïve -- that requiring the NomCom chair
to explain to the confirmation body (and possibly to the community)
why they deviated from this guidance will be the "something" that will
make change happen.  But, yes, ultimately if it's true that we can't
get volunteers, then nothing will happen.

At the very least, we should be able to slow down the "ADs move to the
IAB" routine, as it's pretty hard to justify that deviation.
