There are some issues here. First, who can challenge a nomcom
volunteer's elegibility?
Anyone, I think. RFC7437 talks about it.
Second, what process is followed if their eligibility is challenged?
I think that's unspecified; the Chair just has to resolve the issue
somehow.
This actually seems a lot harder than some of the other proposals that
were put forth, which simply extended eligibility of the same type to more
IETF participants, rather than creating two classes of IETF participants.
Anything more specific seems to create a lot of burden for the a chair who
has to manually vet every applicant in terms of their contributions (which,
I bet, I'd at least as painful as determining consensus on something), and
it can introduce bias. Putting that burden on the community instead seems a
better approach.
