Hi Bron,

 

Thanks for your proposal (which has, I think, been on the table for a while). I would accept it.

 

Should we have a separate thread about the whole sock-puppet thing? Or shall we deal with it here?

You are suggesting that people might establish false Datatracker accounts, register to attend remotely, pay for or apply for a bursary for attendance for three out of five meetings, put their names forward to be on NomCom, get selected, and then what? Will the sock-puppet show up to NomCom calls and meetings?

 

Best,

Adrian

I was going to post the same thing.

I can live with this, but I believe that this is what the other paths are for.

to be clear: I don't think that we should count remote attendees when there

is a face-to-face meeting.

 

 

I agree with Michael. The reason we are making this adjustment is because we are not having in-person meetings. If we have in-person meetings again, we can of course decide to include remote people, but that's not a decision we should take now.

 

[AF] Well, I guess I disagree with Michael once, and you twice.

 

I am fine with not including remote attendees at previous in-person meetings, but we have to handle future meetings. 

 

Can I propose the following:

 

Remote attendance will be included for IETF110 regardless of whether there is an in-person meeting, as we don't expect that everyone will be able to travel.

 

Changing the treatment of meetings after IETF110 is not done by this document - we need to publish a new document anyway in order to extend this experiment, and that new document could choose whatever treatment it likes.

 

So - this means that ONLY IETF109 and IETF110 could be sockpuppetted, and that's not enough for eligibility by itself.

 

Cheers,


Bron.
