If I were to suggest an arrangement, it would be someone with
past exerience from the IESG/IAB with a co-chair of someone who
has not been on the IESG/IAB.

I think a core team (I hesitate to say design team) of commited
people would be a good thing.  At least some of this team should
come from WG chairs (past & present).
