If we think we need more churn in ADs, the solution is some combination

I think this is a really key point: I would rather see us put the
effort into figuring out how to scale the AD job so that more good
people are willing and able to do it. I think that's critical to the
IETF's long-term viability.
My hobby horse is to reduce the work that ADs have to do and my sense is
that this is going up because I-Ds are arriving in a less than adequate
state. I find it hard to judge because it used to be that the e-mails
for IESG review did not appear on the WG list but one metric would be
how many e-mail are generated at that time. A recent I-D generated 51
e-mail on the WG list as part of IESG review, after a significant number
of e-mail on Last Call. For me this says we are asking the IESG to do
too much and so making it harder to find AD.
The first step to solvng a problem is defining the problem:-)
