Bringing us back to the draft under discussion:

It sounds to me like our policies and tools around remote participation
haven't evolved yet to the point where we can set down some serious NomCom
eligibility criteria different from what's there now.  By that I'm not in
any way saying that these aren't important things to sort out, just that
it's not possible at the moment to come to consensus on what exact changes
we should make.

I suppose another way to look at that is: I have no idea what to write in
terms of replacement text for the current Section 4.14 of BCP 10 that
reflects a consensus here.  Does anyone else want to take a stab at it?
