Agreed, plus or minus our oft-repeated discussion about whether
"showing up" equals "participating" and the equally-repeated
discussion of whether someone who comes into a root, signs the
blue sheet (with a real, verifiable, wet signature), and then
proceeds to spend the entire meeting reading email, playing
video games, or otherwise not paying attention counts as
"present".
We are never going to get that perfect. We just need to pick a
collection of surrogates for what we are trying to accomplish
and, in the process, decide whether to err on the side of
inclusion or exclusion.
And note that what Meetecho can do doesn't help with IETF 107
when it was not used and that, in turn, is one of the reasons
why Jay's recent explanation is helpful and important.
