I disagree with this policy action.
Looking at the data, there are very few, if any, people who would be
eligible as nomcom members under the current version of rule 14
(attended 3 out of 5 IETF's on any program) but not under the modified
version. And then, we have not factored in that traditi

I think it's really all about the credit card fees. Cab drivers, at least in
the US, are often on a small enough margin, with high fixed costs, that the few
percent taken by the card companies can be the difference between a worthwhile

IMHO, the issue is not that one does not get the flavor of the IETF by only
attending for a day. I would offer it is that prospective nomcom members would

Henk,
I do agree, of course, about the likelihood of this rule matching anyone
who actually does volunteer for Nomcom.

likelihood. Think of it as insurance against an unlikely event but with
