Generally speaking, I think people fall into broad classes - those who have followed a mailing list, those who have followed a mailing list and shown up for meetings, those who have written an internet draft, those who have pushed one through to RFC, those who have chaired a working group, and those who have served in some capacity on the I*. There might be another class. But those general groups, in sequence, will have a monotonically increasing experience with the processes and with the performance of people that are in those groups - someone who has pushed an ID through a working group probably has a better educated view of the chair than someone who has simply sat in the audience, and so on.
Apparently by design, this sequence places meeting attendance at a very low level compared to other activities. Some people may have written one or more WG Internet-Drafts that went through to RFC, but have had neither corporate sponsorship nor independent wealth necessary to attend meetings. This situation is likely to continue, as people attending meetings at reduced day-pass fees are excluded from Nomcom eligibility.
