I've a small comment regarding the profile. I'm not thinking in any specific

The first point, keeping and editing the minutes, almost excludes the
non-native English speakers, at least, they will have a much more difficult
job if a non-native candidate is appointed for this.

Jordi, what you may be missing that IETF is (for a lack of a better word) a meritocracy, not a democracy. That includes finding the most suitable person for the job, so citing issues of unfairness (to those that may not fulfill requirements) misses the point. If taking care of the minutes requires some degree of English skills, that's what should be required.
