Or look back to a previous Security AD appointment when the incumbent became unavailable because he was appointed IETF Chair.

It is important for multiple people to run even when there is an incumbent for a fair process. When Stephen Farrell ran for Sec AD again last year, he encouraged me to accept the nomination and run against him so that there was a good candidate to make the process a bit more fair. If either Stephen of Sean won the lottery, the Noncom would at least have gone through the interview and review process with other candidates in advance. The candidate would have worked through the possibility of what this meant with their job and that it was possible for them to take on this role (not insignificant for many of us). For me, I thought Stephen was doing a fine job and am glad he was put back on the IESG, but it is good for the Noncom to have options and backup plans. I received approval from my company, but let my management know that it was unlikely that I would be selected since incumbents usually return.
Maybe folks should consider running against an incumbent. You learn the process and it forces you to figure out if you are interested in the role and could allocate that time to the IETF. I gave a positive review of Stephen when running against him.
Thanks,
Kathleen

Hi Allison,
in your model you don't count those people who have been rejecting to a nomination, just because they believe the current AD did a very good job and he/she should be reelected.
So the situation is not that bad, if there is only the current AD on the nominee list.
Cheers,
Mehmet
