Hi Donald-
You present an interesting idea and I appreciate your desire to
avoid a two-class nomcom. If you were to take that approach, I'd
suggest allocating points as below:
High points (e.g., 10)
- served as a working group chair
- served on the IESG or IAB
Medium points (e.g., 5)
- served as a liaison
- authored an IETF Stream RFC
- shepherded an IETF Stream RFC
- served on a directorate or liaison
(there are probably others)
Low points (e.g., 1 per meeting)
- meeting attendance
Giving meeting attendance points 1 per meeting without bound seems
like a good idea since someone who has attended 20 IETF meetings may
be a lot more plugged in than someone who has attended 5 or some of
the 'medium points' items.
Just a thought,

However, I am completely opposed to invidious schemes to
divide the nomcom voting members into two (or more) classes. And
I think the desired results can be obtained without doing so.
The current qualification is attendance 3 out of the last 5
meetings but no one notices or cares whether any particular
nomcom volunteer attended 3, 4, or 5 meeting. If you want more
experienced members, just tighten the attendance criteria a bit
but give points for other experience. As an example, set a
threshold of 4 or 5 points where you get one for each meeting
you attend out of the last six, one point for being on either of
the two most recent nomcoms, and one point for having been a
working group chair in the past two years. You could even make
the probability of selection non-uniform based on points and I'd
be willing to modify the code normally used to allow that, but I
don't think it would be necessary.
This way you will get more experience without the dominance
effects of some nomcom members being labeled Senior and some
Junior or whatever.
Thanks,
Donald
