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

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 and a wasted fare. Next time a cabbie doesn't want your
