the only nominee to step forward had been on the PMC six months
I don't see this as a major issue. I mean, it was the third Chair election of the year (and it was still August), it came unexpected and we had seen painful nomination/acceptance/declination stories in the previous months; I believe this is the reason why people, knowing that you were already available, did not jump in and nominate themselves.
That Chair-elect will retire in September, 2016.
OK, this is very useful for proper planning.

Iversen!
The complete PMC membership history is available at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/pmc/project-state/2015-09-08-PMC-MembershipStatus.pdf
This is an excellent document. I've checked it and indeed this one is much better and (as soon as you have the privileges for doing so, which should be a matter of days now, Board Meeting is next week) http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#openoffice-pmc should definitely be aligned to it. Your file has better information.
ACTION PLAN Collect and maintain materials on everything that involves a Chair
There is nothing special for OpenOffice in this respect. So adding questions/answers to http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html will suffice (but that page is already very comprehensive).
September 2016 PMC have at least three able and available candidates for recommendation as new Chair
As for having 3 people who would have the minimal knowledge to act as Chair, I think we already have them, and PMC involvement in Chair duties will be enough. I don't see the need to have 3 or more candidates (i.e., it is important to have people with the right knowledge, it is not important that all of them run for election): it might happen that, implicitly or explicitly, the viable candidates find consensus on one of them.
