This is an update to the Last Call that is currently in progress.
The IESG is considering the following Statement on the Day Pass
Experiment. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks on
this statement, and the IESG actively solicits comments on this
statement. Please send substantive comments to the ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org
mailing lists by 2010-05-20. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to
iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning

the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
I support the IESG statement below.
In particular, I note that this statement is specifically regarding the NOMCOM
volunteer eligibility for meeting participants with day-pass registrations;
it's not about participants with student status.
I believe student participants should continue to follow the current rule
regarding their NOMCOM volunteer eligibility.

PS: Full disclosure: I was a graduate student in my first few years of IETF
meetings.
PPS: My understanding is that, as of now, IETF meetings have very small number
of student participants (Ray can correct me here if I get it wrong). If this
number ever goes up significantly, it may deserve a reconsideration.

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 clarify the NomCom eligibility rules
to address IETF participants that make use of a day pass. An update to
RFC 3777 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. This statement provides guidance until an
update to RFC 3777 is proposed, reviewed, and approved.
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. Use of a day pass for
meetings prior to April 2010 counts as IETF meeting attendance;
however, use of a day pass for meetings after to April 2010 will
not count as IETF meeting attendance.
