[Eligibility-discuss] Implementation note: Fuzz in rule 2.

The text is fine. Please do not change that text based on what I say 
here. I just want to raise awareness of a rough edge in implementation.

Right now, the datatracker has a very poor idea of when someone _stops_ 
being a chair (or stops being in any other role). It has to be inferred, 
and it can infer incorrectly.

So, for the short term (likely to extend through the 2023 selection 
process), there will be fuzz for some people with roles that ended just 
before the window path 2 describes, or started in the role between the 
date the call for volunteers was sent to the community and when 
eligibility is assessed. The implementation will fail such that it is 
more inclusive (it will overqualify rather than underqualify any person 
that falls into that fuzz).

In the long run, we will improve the datatracker's way of tracking when 
roles are exited and can be more precise in implementing path 2.
