RFC 3777 requires that voting members of the nominating committee
(NomCom) be selected from volunteers that have attended at least three
of the last five IETF meetings. The IAOC is conducting a day pass
experiment, making it necessary to augment the NomCom eligibility rules
to address IETF participants that make use of a day pass. An update to
RFC 3777 to will be needed to address this situation if at the end of
the experiment the IAOC decides to make day passes a regular meeting
registration alternative; however, a BCP update for an experiment is
overkill.
Agreed.
The IESG observes that attending a single day of the IETF meeting is not
sufficient for a new participant to learn the culture of the IETF or the
qualities that would make an effective IETF leader. Further, ongoing
exposure to the IETF standards process is necessary to appreciate the
significance and importance of cross-area review.
A person can spend a whole week at an IETF meeting without
understanding the culture. The emphasis on culture may be read as
favoring incumbents. The important points, in my opinion, are the
cross-area review and experiencing how the process works in
practice. There are probably not so new participants attending on a
Day Pass. I doubt that the IESG would say that they do not
understand the culture.
