Please note two things:
1) under the original proposal and my revised one, you have
   attend in person somewhat regularly.

2) for the November meeting, the nomcom *itself* must be present.

Tend to agree.

   I think it unrealistic to think that the nomcom itself could
   be remote for that meeting.  For the summer and march meeting,
   the nomcom could be anywhere.

Not this year:-)


so, even if you are eligible, don't volunteer for the nomcom if you can't
attend the november meeting.

But doesn't that run counter to one aspect of SM's otherwise
reasonable goal? (And if getting randomly picked for nomcom
implied some I* thing has to pay your way to the Nov meeting,
then this is IMO a *much* larger change proposal.)
