If there is a requirement to be able to read and write English
accurately, then let it be specified as such and not by potentially false
assumptions as to what childhood background anyone might imagine would
influence linguistic performance.

Speaking only for myself ...
Joe has this exactly right (good job), and the I-star seems to understand
this - just as an example, IESG is talking to non-native English speakers
about the IESG scribe positions, at this IETF.
People who wonder about this should be looking at IAB meeting minutes - they
are not (typically) he said/she said transcripts. See
http://www.iab.org/documents/iabmins/iabmins.2007-01-10.html for a recent
example. So capturing EKR at line rate, which I can't do either, is NOT the
requirement.
IAB had more accessible minutes than IESG for years (IESG minutes were
mostly "had no problem with", "remained under discussion"). That's why
several people (including me) asked IESG to begin publishing narrative
minutes in 2005.
The minutes are the IAB's public face, and are really important - this
requirement, for "writing skills", is justified.
Thanks,
Spencer
