I think that moving the qualification rules out of the RFC is a recipe
for trouble. Yes, having them in there means we have to go to more
trouble if we want to change them. But having them outside means that
the leadership has more control than we want. Changing slowly is a
benefit in my book for this situation.
As for the details of remaining eligible, I think that the problem for
me is finding a good balance among the constraints of well defined and
observable, relevant to understanding the community, and indicative of
caring about the community. And none of the criteria we have ever found
directly include our actual goal as a community of improving the
Internet for everyone (which is probably not solvable, but struck me as
I was writing the constraints.)
Yours,
Joel

Is it for the formula for remaining eligible, or was it the specific things
that constitute a "contribution"?
Do you think that the things which are a "contribution" should be maintained
outside of BCP10 in some way?
