We really need to understand that better, and the underlying reasons for it, in some detail. I don't think that cherry-picking parts of the jobs to be delegated should be the starting point. We really need to start by reviewing all the tasks together and then decide what should be changed. I'd really like to hear from Olaf, Bernard and Russ what has changed in the workload in the last few years. You are of course correct that if the workload is constantly increasing, it will make NomCom's task very hard. Certainly the IASA/IAD/IAOC reorganisation produced a noticeable reduction in the IETF Chair workload, but what has changed since http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-carpenter-ietf-chair-tasks-00 ? It would be good to have a similar analysis for the IAB chair role.
