Besides, is it the selection procedure that's discouraging new faces or could it be the incumbents are doing such a good job, nobody feels the need to disrupt that? Let’s first identify the problem before deciding what the solution is.

I agree that the current chairs have done a superb job.

I wonder if people are hesitant to put their hat in the ring because
they are not sure that they can commit the time, or are concerned that
their employers might be less than supportive?

The former could be overcome by sharing details of how much time the
chairs need to dedicate to managing the WG.

Succession planning is good but placing the burden on the chairs
themselves seems a lot to ask.
