I worry about the case where excellent common sense selected a perfect Chair, who over time (intoxicated by his/her unlimited powers ... ;-) turns into a less perfect Chair during his/her tenure?
It's a reasonable concern. Though it should be simple to resolve if that situation arises: "We don't want you any more. Go now."
Have you seen that approach working anywhere...? Maybe: "Upon receiving a request to step down from <N> community members, the NomCom and(/or?) the WGCC decide if the Chair has to step down or not." What is a "community member"? I would probably define this as someone who has attended a RIPE meeting in the last <N> years, or with relevant participation in mailing lists, acknowledged by WG Chairs. Cheers, Carlos
