Fair enough; but right now, it's all I could find when I was wondering
what it is a RIPE chair should do; WG chairs and PC members have a
function description and an actual appointment process, but the
supposedly more important and central function of RIPE chair does not,
which, to me, seems a little weird.

Anyhow, some of the first few bullets (and the last) of the first part
(responsibilities) of said draft don't seem that bad to me and I could
definitely see those as a function description that is clear and simple.
The tasks part is indeed too detailed for me. I have no opinion about
the term (which is also related to the selection method).

'chair does what chair should do' is also very much not KISS, since it's
both unclear and meaningless. It also begs the question, 'according to
whom?'.
