Hi Eliot,
The most recent number of nomcom eligible folks is 849, please see https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/show_nomcom_message.cgi?id=446. 20 people out of that isn't all that high. I think I might easily find 10 like-minded people; but 20 makes the burden of proof a bit harder and that sounds good to me. Furthermore, there have been (rumors of) cases where IESG/IAB members who were purported to be ineffective have been selected again for their positions. (As to why that is is a different story, and is closely related to the same reason why only about 10% of the nomcom eligible folks actually volunteer to be on the nomcom: apathy).
regards,
Lakshminath

I actually think the bar is too high for other reasons. Those same 20
people are not allowed to serve as jury, and that makes sense. but
we're not a large community, and while I understand the need to prevent
DOS attacks on the IESG, I would still halve the number. As it is now
it's just about impossible to get rid of someone who is really doing a
bad job, even if it's obvious. The balance has to be gotten right, and
that's hard, considering nobody has actually been recalled. Has anyone
even tried?
Eliot
