That is a fair point.  But I liked Barry’s groupings:

a.  Those who have attended in person 3/5 (status quo)
b.  Those who have previously attended attended in person but are now remote.
c.  Those who have never attended.

I don’t think many people could seriously object to group (b) being added.  The concern is primarily with group (c).  There is also a certain amount of skin in the game that may be of value.  The skin in the game could take the form of meeting attendance or having written an RFC or having had a draft adopted by a WG.  These are all pretty good indicators and there may be others (open source authors having implemented a spec, for instance).  The idea is not to set the bar too high for people who are using our stuff, but high enough still that gaming would be unlikely.

Thoughts?
