The IAOC has operational responsibilities. Having one voting member not attending many meetings makes it harder obtaining a consensus. Without a consensus the IAOC can not approve contracts, RFPs, etc.

According to the IAOC procedures:

  "A quorum for a meeting of the IAOC shall be a majority of the IAOC then in
   office.  All decisions of the members must be approved by majority vote of
   the members then in office."

formal RFC3777 recall process. Having his position declared vacant is milder than having him be formally recalled.

Having a recall committee decide about the matter instead of the IETF Community discussion is milder as the details would not be subject to public scrutiny. The following (edited) question [1] is relevant:

  If the person showed up at the IETF in Atlanta, explaining that he had
  been absent for personal reasons now resolved, what would be the
  course of action?

There are a few "bugs" in RFC 3777. It might be better not to discuss about that now.
