There are already controls for that, but folks who engage in games such as this generally make use of consultants/proxies/etc. which are not at all apparent. I'm not citing this as a huge risk, but one which could occur if the in-person requirement drops to a single meeting. (i.e. due to the large pool of remote participants that one could enlist and fund a single on-site attendance if the goal was to seat an particular IAB or IESG member.) FYI, /John Disclaimers: My views alone (& not part of any group seeking NomCom capture... :-)
