The Oxford Union Society is the worlds oldest existing debating society Even though the Union has members there is an additional qualification to stand for election, a member must have spoken at two debates in the term they wish to stand before the close of hustings. These are 'qualified members'. It seems to me that the same principle has already been established with NOMCON. I don't think that you can apply such criteria to the appeals process unless you first apply it to other elements of ietf participation. Otherwise you will end up with serious liability issues. > -----Original Message----- > From: David W.
