noted that in the minutes.   Notes may be taken in any language, but must
be translated to English within a month of the end of the IETF meeting.
Multiple note takers may be certified at any given meeting and all notes
gleaned from any of them will be added to the meeting record.

Michael, I think you omitted a significant advantage of this specific
proposal - it's something someone DOES, as opposed to something someone IS.

I'm too jet-lagged to think about specifics on the no-doubt excellent
proposals in these threads  (my plane from Shanghai to DFW landed almost
exactly 24 hours ago, and that was my third flight last week), but I'd
encourage folks to think of criteria that requires some beneficial action
to the Internet community rather than simply holding a position.

We do trip over people from time to time who are no longer able to
participate in the IETF, but don't step down from positions until someone
asks them to step down.

Thanks, and best wishes to all of you on an important conversation!
