That's why I wrote "contribution" --- we could imagine some system of points,
with the datatracker being the scoreboard, but I'm not clear that we need an
particularly complex system or overly restrictive system.

Perhaps one can become ineligible without loosing eligibility for a period
of time... we could have a long integration time...

But, if one totally looses eligibility, then the reason why I think one has
to do more attendance in person is because things *do* change over
time. 3-step vs 2-step.  Creation of IAOC.  Use of jabber+streamed mp3 vs
meetecho vs using multicast and vat.  The rise of webrtc... How much of this
matters to the nomcom, is unclear; but one definitely gets more
cross-polination by being in the hallway, than by being in the hallway chat.
