If we really want the largest pool of candidates, I don't think we have 
to be so cute; just make it 3 of 6 for the 2020-2021 NomCom only and 
define "attendance" for IETF 107. Bob Hinden convinced me that since 107 
had so few sessions, it's not useful to just treat it as a normal 
meeting, and 3 of 6 solves that issue. We seem to have some momentum 
toward dealing with remote participation generally, so really the only 
NomCom for which we have to worry about making rules immediately is the 
2020-2021 NomCom. So let's just write a soon-to-be-obsolete BCP that 
says:

A. IETF 107 became a remote meeting at the last minute and therefore had 
minimal sessions scheduled and less-than-average attendance.

B. For the 2020-2021 NomCom, we don't want the above fact to interfere 
with NomCom eligibility.

C. Therefore, with regard to the 2020-2021 NomCom selection, IETF 107 
hereby qualifies as an "IETF meeting" for purposes of Volunteer 
Qualification in RFC 8713 Section 4.14.

D. For purposes of Volunteer Qualification in RFC 8713 Section 4.14, 
"attended" and "attendance" at IETF 107 is defined as having one's name 
on the Etherpad attendance list or being in the recorded Webex 
participant list of any X sessions held remotely at IETF 107. 
[Personally, I couldn't care less what X is; any X>=1 is fine with me.]

E. With regard to the 2020-2021 NomCom selection, in the Volunteer 
Qualification of RFC 8713 Section 4.14 is three out of the last six 
meetings instead of three out of the last five. As in RFC 8713 Section 
4.14, the six meetings are the six most recent meetings that ended prior 
to the date on which the solicitation for NomCom volunteers was 
submitted for distribution to the IETF community.

Then we clean things up with a proper BCP that defines eligibility for 
remote participants, and obsolete the above.
