Hi Alissa,

Thanks for the response.  I'll comment inline.

Will the "high-level principles" be about hopes or ambitions to achieve something?

I don't understand this question.

First, I'll quote an extract from RFC 8719 as it may help to explain what I am asking about:

  "Implementation of the Policy

   IASA should understand the policy written in this document to be the
   aspiration of the IETF community."

The word "aspiration" can be interpreted as being about hopes or ambitions. Based on my experience from another organization which is not related to the IETF, policies are not intended to be aspirations. The rationale for that is because a policy is there to guide decision-making instead of leaving it to the whims of the person(s) authorized to take the decision.

No, the closure of MTGVENUE was done knowing that a new group with a different remit might need to be formed.

Ok.


Does the cadence of meeting scheduling affect NomCom eligibility?

Yes.

Did meeting planning have an impact on NomCom eligibility?

Yes, see <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8788.html>https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8788.html.

Before the pandemic, there were two categories of IETF community:

   (i)  people who are charged an attendance fee to attend IETF meetings
        in person.

   (ii) people who are not charged an attendance fee to attend IETF meetings
        remotely.

Since the pandemic, the IETF has been unable to hold IETF meetings in person and it switched to a fully only meeting [1]. People in categories (i) and (ii) are charged an attendance fee. However, the people in category (ii) are not being offered the same treatment as the people in category (i). In the country [2] where I reside, the exclusion of people in category (ii) eligibility would be considered as discrimination.
