The first is the TSV is too narrow a field to support an area director and as such should be folded in with another area. The second is if all of the qualified people have moved on and no one is interested in building the expertise the IESG feels is lacking, then industry and academia have voted with their feet: the TSV is irrelevant and should be closed.

I don't believe the requirements are too tight. *Someone* one the IESG needs to understand congestion control.

The likely possibility is that many qualified people failed to get sufficient employer support to be able to volunteer. It's at least a 50% time committment.
