I might be talked into agreeing with most of your points, but I am not convinced that "if you buy a day pass, you should certainly be nomcom eligible." How about replacing "should certainly" with "may"?

Figured I'd be the one to kick a thread off on this fascinating topic :-) I like the idea of day passes, it's not just about the cost of the day pass and all it avails, if someone is only coming to the IETF meeting for a day (e.g., they only want a day pass because they have a time constraining day job or actual fiscal constraints), then why should they be required to pay a fee to subsidize meeting costs for the entire week? The work happens on the mailing lists, consensus is judged on the mailing list, and remote participation is encouraged as well. And if you buy a day pass, you should certainly be nomcom eligible. -danny _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
