I have a couple of comments.

I think (a) should include the ISOC BoT, since they are a confirming body.

I appreciate trying to widen the pool, but I still prefer the current
rules for (b), you're more likely to be familiar with the people that
currently contribute to the IETF. The 1-1-1 location plan for the IETF
isn't hard and fast, anyway. Perhaps loosen it up a bit to be three
out of the most recent six IETFs, rather than five.

(c) sounds like a fine suggestion.

Thanks,
Andy
