I thought the current wording was "attending" the last 3 out of 5 IETF Meetings, _not_ "participating". Although I believe that the spirit is more about participation than it is about paying a particular registration fee. In the past, the 3-out-of-5 criteria could be met with the "North America IETF meetings". For 2011,2012, attending IETF meetings in North America will no longer suffice for NomCom eligibility: Summer 2010 Maastricht, Netherlands (Europe) Fall 2010 Bejing, China (Asia) Spring 2011 Prague, Czech Republic (Europe) Summer 2011 Quebec City, Canada (North America) Fall 2011 Taipei, Taiwan (Asia) Spring 2012 (Europe, provisional) Summer 2012 (Asia, provisional) Fall 2012 Atlanta, Georgia/US (North America) I would not be surprised if the pool of NomCom volunteers is going to be much more affected by the upcoming meeting locations than it would be by retroactively excluding meeting attendees that purchased a day pass to limit their travel expenses in an economic decline. -Martin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
