I think physically attending 1 meeting might not be enough esp. if a nomcom were selected that had a lot of folks on who'd only ever been to one meeting. But I'm sympathetic to the goal and am sure some qualification rule (*) could be worked out. (Probably after about 1000 messages;-) However, before getting into that I'd like to hear from folks who've been on or chaired nomcoms. I know a lot of it is done remotely, but how important is the f2f part that happens during meetings? Would it really be ok if say 5 voting members could never come to a meeting whilst serving? (And I think that'd not be an unlikely outcome.) S. (*) Like I said, too early to get into it, but the nomcom selection process could also require that the voting members collectively have been to N meetings, with each voting member able to contribute at most M to that total. Say with N=30 and M=4 or something, and keep running the random selection until you get 10 voting members that satisfy that. And if we went there, we could also require that nomcom as a group have written a number of RFCs perhaps or even have some folks with Jari's h-index>3 or something. We could have lots of fun with all that:-) > > Regards, > S. Moonesamy > >
