As I recall, the basis of the 3/5 rule (and previously the 3/3 rule)
was to avoid ballot stuffing, I do not see substantial risk of allowing
those who have used day passes to be eligible for NOMCOM, especially
considering that in all likelihood nobody is going to do that more than
once. As such *I oppose the proposed change*, especially since it seems
to boil down to money, since someone who pays for a full week and only
goes the day would be treated differently. We would call that "buying a
vote."
I still believe the risks of ballot stuffing exist, and we should take
some measures to mitigate them. However, I now wonder whether the time
is ripe to review not only NOMCOM qualification but also our NOMCOM
processes, with an eye toward being more inclusive in a virtual world.

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.
