I don't agree with your reading of the RFC. But, even if I did, it seems
unwise to do this kind of negotiation. Your reading grants the chair a lot
of discretion, but does not make a case for this particular decision.
For example, one relevant piece of information might be who the next few
candidates would have been.

It would be a shame to call any of these into question:

- selection of NomCom members
- the actions of their nominees
- the IETF itself

If those seem questionable, there is no benefit to publishing an RFC over
an Internet Draft.
