Why should we prohibit this?
We have 23+ experienced nomcom chairs, some of whom might be retired now and
available. It's not like it's a voting position.
I would tend to agree that prohibiting this may narrow our options without a stronger reason as to why this should be the case. Perhaps its just perception, or maybe there is a good technical reason why to take such a position. We allow people to be on the NOMCOM more than once. Chairing is not an easy job and requires proficiency in various areas - so I think keeping our options open makes sense.
Given sufficient time between potential stints, I think it would provide a way to ensure we are finding able and capable people to serve as chair.
