Minor point: The IETF Trust is a bit different. Terms are 3 years.
And the RFC actually asks folks to make a long term commitment to
serving as a trustee. So at the very least it needs to be 6 years for
that. And I would recommend against an explicit limit. (The trust has
to worry about legal issues. And not about standardization at all. The
trust has no say in IETF processes.)
Yours,

Here's one, in case someone wants: impose an N year gap
between memberships of the IESG and IAB except to allow
one transition from IESG to IAB. IOW, when you exit the
IESG or IAB you can't be on the IESG or IAB for N years
(modulo the exception above). That might cause a crisis
in a short enough while, and maybe we need one of those.
I assume "one of those" means a crisis. If so, yes.
I would say no person can serve in a nomcom-chosen position for more than four years in a row; there must be at least a one-year gap. No exemptions.
