Time is highly effective at producing old-timers. Ask me about it sometime.
I was referring specifically to the sort of old-timers who can do cross-area
review, which was actually a theory that I think Bill Manning, himself perhaps
an old-timer, advanced.
I don't have enough experience with ITU to know whether in fact the old-timers
of which you speak are the sort that might help with that, but my inclination
is to remain skeptical of this proposal, because the context in which the two
organizations operate is quite different, and specifically the funding and
attendance model for ITU is _very_ different.
