I am OK with that recommendation.

One of the challenges is that individuals nominated for various functions
often reach the state of overload, as most of these activities are done in
the individual's private time.
The workload of individuals to effectively chair such groups as IAB or GAC,
often leaves them with little time for a task such as the independent review
panel.  I can see the benefit of a nominating committee choosing people that
are seen as independent AND have sufficient time available to perform the
task properly.
