I don't have a real problem with "3 out of 6" or "5 out of 10" or even 
50% of our meetings, but I at least one of those 3, 5 or 50% needs to
be recent (let us say 1 or the last two, and 3 out of 6.

What I'm saying is that, and yes it is an extreme case, someone that
attended the first 48 meetings would not be qualified when we establish
the next NomCom after IETF 96. Nor would someone attending 5 meetings
and then did not attend for almost 2 years be qualified.
