+1 as well.
In addition, we might also consider having inactive IPMC members go emeritus.
Other ASF projects have such provisions in their bylaws.
http://ant.apache.org/bylaws.html#Project%20Management%20Committee
Membership of the PMC is by invitation only and must be approved by a lazy
consensus of active PMC members. A PMC member is considered "emeritus" by
their own declaration or by not contributing in any form to the project
for over six months. An emeritus member may request reinstatement to the
PMC. Such reinstatement is subject to lazy consensus of the active PMC
members. Membership of the PMC can be revoked by an unanimous vote of all
the active PMC members other than the member in question.
