As a general comment, I think it would perhaps be very advantageous if the 
person had served in IESG during the last N "hectic years" -- to have some 
personal insight into the problems.  Of course, this should not be a 
requirement as such.

I'm not sure whether (or how) it should be included.

But if the person has already volunteered, would withdrawing from
candidacy be possible?  (Or withdrawing if elected, or withdrawing if 
selected for "problem" chair.)
