so thats not a big issue. committed old-timers will do it anyway.
I don't like flying to 3 ietfs a year. I wouldn't fly to nine. And
committed old timers retire. If you break up the organization, where does the
next generation of committed old-timers come from? And anyway, what makes you
think it's the committed old-timers who are the ones who should be doing the
cross-area reviews? Sometimes they are, but sometimes it's someone new to the
organization who's needed for a particular review, and if the participants
don't know each other, that person won't get tapped.
