I have nothing to say about the IESG case here, but why this rule for
the IAB?  This is a new invention, because the IAB chair's _ex
officio_ position on the IAOC comes by virtue of being IAB chair, and
that appointment is for no more than one year-cycle (i.e. Spring
meeting to Spring meeting -- this year it'll turn out slightly longer
than one year).  For all I know, the IAB will replace me in April with
someone else.  (Indeed, some days I think that, were they sane, they'd
replace me that afternoon!  That'd be less than a year.)

But you're making it greater than it is now.
