This original text from RFC7437 and with my editors hat on, I don’t think we should be rewriting the base text.   I think that is out of scope for this bis.

Personal comment.  I would hope that a NomCom doesn’t change sitting people unless the new person was superior.  Would we want them to just change someone who is doing a good job without good reason?

ditto, but I also don’t think this is necessary here.  It’s made clear in p5 in the same section.

rfc4071bis is now -11
trust-update is now -03

This was fixed in draft-ietf-iasa2-rfc7437bis-07.  The text in -07 is:

   Although there is no term limit for serving in any IESG, IAB, or IETF
   Trust position, the NomCom may use length of service as one of its
   criteria for evaluating an incumbent.

I don’t see any mention of term limits in draft-ietf-iasa2-trust-update -02 or -03.  Where did you see that?

There are only two paragraphs in Section 3.3, I think you mean para 1.

I assume you are proposing to add this text.   While I personally agree, I think it’s out of scope.
