That too.  And that could be part of the basis for a process
appeal that questioned the legitimacy of any IESG process vote
because, if 107 was no the first meeting of the year for IESG
purposes, then it would not be clear who should have
participated in the vote and discussion (and, given the amount
of turnover on the IAB, the situation there vis-a-vis any appeal
would be even worse).

Unless one wants to bank on there being no one who is aware of
what is going on (participating actively in the IETF or not)
registering such an appeal, I think that option is OBE.
