I also think that a 50% replacement rule - or even a 66% replacement
rule would be very useful.  The work load is very high, but much of
that is gathering knowledge and opinions on the different candidates.
Since the candidate set from year to year is not disjoint, I think
that the work load for consecutive years would be feasible.

One advantage of this is having recent historical knowledge -
currently the NomCom must depend upon this from the previous NomCom
chair and liasons, which gives added strength  from the non-voting
members.

It may be the case that those NomCom members who are old would wield
more influence the second year, but I think that will pull more
randomly from the members than having a separate experienced pool.
