Assuming that you did not contribute for three years in anyway:
   wrote/submitted no documents, never presented remotely in a meeting, etc.
then at IETF97 (5 meetings after IETF92, assuming you attended that one),
you would become ineligible, and you'd have to attend 3/5 again to become
eligible.  You'd have to come to IETF104,105, and 106.

Now, you say that you did in fact contribute:

So, I would claim that you were actually more active than some people who
have in fact attended nearly every meeting.  (and certainly more active than
our hypothetical Elmer)

Alas, everyone reading this thread is probably 10x more active than the IETF
average, so we may have a skewed notion about what it means.

(I wrote contributed twice in the past four meetings. So out of
100,101,102,103, you got 100 and 103.)
