Yes. We did this a few years ago to get rid of a WG co-chair who'd lost the confidence of their WG.

Nope. I think the community has to take that decision by consensus. Nobody else. If the community is screaming for someone's head on a stick, asking the NomCom or WGCC to make a judgement about that would/should be a no-op. So there's nothing gained by introducing that redundant step or steps.
