Because of the way nomcom eligibility works, it effectively does require
special membership: you have to be able to attend three out of five
IETFs in a row. We don’t call this a membership, but in effect it is.
The minimum cost of the membership is three times the IETF conference
fee plus travel expenses.
That's to have an official position, as in WG chair, AD etc.
I have never held any official IETF position and I have been able to
participate in WG activities just fine.
