A person can spend a whole week at an IETF meeting without understanding the culture.

True, but it seems to me that on average that doesn't/
won't happen, and given the size of the nomcom this isn't
likely to be an issue.

I used to participate in every meeting, took a few years
off, and then went to Anaheim.  Despite being on mailing
lists and having been an active participant in the past,
the general tone of things had shifted in ways I hadn't
anticipated.  In particular, I hadn't really appreciated
the way that the lowly, casual bar bof had turned into a
*Bar* *BOF*.  I think being at meetings is important if
you want to participate in shaping the future of the
organization.  I also think that's unfortunate, but it is
what it is and better to be realistic about it.
