IETF WGs are made up of their participants. Participants are so
defined by their participation in some WG activity such as a meeting,
or reading the mailing list, or something like that. So, if you come
to an IETF meeting and make some side comment about anything that went
on in a WG meeting to someone else who was somehow participating in
that WG (say by reading the list or going to the same meeting), then
your comment is a contribution under my reading. ("Portion thereof"
just means "at least one participant", as far as I can tell. It isn't
otherwise defined that I can see.)
So it's perhaps not quite true that anything that anyone says in a
hallway discussion is a contribution; but something like that must be
pretty close. The definition of "contribution" is extremely broad, I
think.
