In particular, I note that this statement is specifically regarding the NOMCOM volunteer eligibility for meeting participants with day-pass registrations; it's not about participants with student status. I believe student participants should continue to follow the current rule regarding their NOMCOM volunteer eligibility. Lixia PS: Full disclosure: I was a graduate student in my first few years of IETF meetings. PPS: My understanding is that, as of now, IETF meetings have very small number of student participants (Ray can correct me here if I get it wrong). If this number ever goes up significantly, it may deserve a reconsideration. > = = = = = = = = > > RFC 3777 requires that voting members of the nominating committee > (NomCom) be selected from volunteers that have attended at least three > of the last five IETF meetings.
