+1 on ignore it. 

It looks to me that 107 is largely being canceled and people will not get the relationships, insights, and experience that we want for the nomcom. Treating everyone as being there is just not OK because it is unlikely they have the information we would hope someone on the nomcom would have. This applies equally to newcomers and people that have been to many IETF meetings. 

If we had an effective remote meeting, with all the types of conversations and meetings that happen at a normal IETF, I might feel differently.
