While we are sorting this out, and whether we publish an Internet draft or not, I would like to know this: As I (Barry, not the IESG as a whole) currently read the rough consensus, considering what people have said the reasons you all have given, and the discussion of those reasons, I see things falling toward option 1. Specifically, looking at RFC 8713, Section 4.14, FOR THIS NOMCOM CYCLE ONLY and SETTING NO PRECEDENT, I would replace the first two paragraphs this way: Members of the IETF community must have attended at least three of the last five in-person IETF meetings in order to volunteer. The five meetings are the five most recent in-person meetings that ended prior to the date on which the solicitation for NomCom volunteers was submitted for distribution to the IETF community. For the 2020-2021 Nominating Committee those five meetings are IETFs 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106. The question I will ask is this: Is there anyone who *can't live with that outcome*? That question is not asking what you *prefer*; I've read all of those, and I am still collecting that input further. But for the purpose of this question, does anyone think that outcome is so bad that you can't accept it? If you can live with it, there's no need to respond. Just let me know if you can't. Barry
