RFC 3777 requires that voting members of the nominating
committee (NomCom) be selected from volunteers that have
attended at least three of the last five IETF meetings.  The
IAOC is conducting a day pass experiment, making it necessary
to augment the NomCom eligibility rules to address IETF
participants that make use of a day pass.  An update to RFC
3777 to will be needed to address this situation if at the end
of the experiment the IAOC decides to make day passes a
regular meeting registration alternative; however, a BCP
update for an experiment is overkill.

The IESG observes that attending a single day of the IETF
meeting is not sufficient for a new participant to learn the
culture of the IETF or the qualities that would make an
effective IETF leader.  Further, ongoing exposure to the IETF
standards process is necessary to appreciate the significance
and importance of cross-area review.

The eligibility requirements of volunteers for NomCom voting
member positions are provided in RFC 3777, which includes:

  14. Members of the IETF community must have attended at
least 3 of        the last 5 IETF meetings in order to
volunteer.

In the context of the day pass experiment, this is interpreted
to mean:

  14. IETF participants must have attended at least 3 of the
last 5        IETF meetings in order to volunteer, and that
use of a day pass        does not count as IETF meeting
attendance.
