I think this is the key part of your message. It is *not* clear that
"meetings" refers to other than face-to-face meetings. At the time of
the writing of this requirement, there was not such thing as a
non-face-to-face meeting, and I don't think it is clear that the
intention of those who worked on this document would have been to
include virtual meetings in the qualifications. That is not to say that
the text can't be read the way you are reading it; it's a reasonable
interpretation. But it's not *clear* that yours is the only
interpretation.
You seem to be OK with the proposal that 102 gets counted; you only seem
to be objecting to not counting 107. So, when you say you "don't accept"
the solution proposed in this document, can you explain more clearly why
the attendance at 107 absolutely must be counted? Is it simply that you
don't accept that 8713 intended only face-to-face meetings be counted
for qualification, or that it's unfair to not count 107, or is it
something else? You might still end up in the "rough" part of the "rough
consensus", but if you've got an argument that convinces the rest of us,
I'm sure it would considered.
Also remember that there is a separate discussion, over on
eligibility-discuss@xxxxxxxx, about the broader effort to make remote
attendance count toward NomCom eligibility. I think your comments and
suggestions would be much more helpful over there. Barry's document is
about a one-time stop-gap measure. The other effort is about updating
8713 to make it clear that remote participation (and perhaps some other
criteria) should count toward NomCom eligibility.
Cheers,
