I had assumed there is a difference between "volunteering in an IETF WG" to do some work and "volunteering in Uncle Sam's recruiting buero". When did this change? I would also assume that "volunteering" should be scoped to what the volunteer personally commits by explicit vocal or written communication, rather than a "show of hand" volunteering to an unspecified amount of work on the mind of a WG chair. And any such personal commitment may be vitally dependent on several constraints that are not explicitly communicated along with it, and those may change. I really do not see any need for a "photo proof" in that area, and much less of a _publication_ of a photo. Does this mean that IETF participants, who do not attend IETF meetings in person, can no longer volunteer to contribute to the IETF? -Martin
