Agreed.
There is also an interesting scale at which you will get *NO* volunteers
from.  Those are companies just large enough to support an AD or an IAB
member, but not a lot of other in-person participation.  Since you can't
stand for a position if you are on the nomcom, those people won't voluneer.

so, when you do the analysis of activity, you have to also include all the
nominees into the pool.

I anecdotally observe that I think that Google has a lower number of
volunteers for a "big" company.

It would also be useful to take, rather than attendance, instead, draft
authorship for the numerator.
