Since you ask, I continue to feel that the 3/5 rule is restrictive for people
who have limited travel possibilities but have significant IETF experience.
Maybe we could have another week on that question, and then go with what we
have (with Harald's tweaks)?

So...

"  Members of the IETF community must have attended at least three of
   the last five IETF meetings in order to volunteer."

One quick fix is to change it to "three of the last six" which would
allow for a whole year of no travel and would not be hard to administer.
Another would be to add an alternative qualification "or five of the last
ten" to allow for longer-term regular participants. Either way, I think
that attending 50% of meetings should be enough.
