I will comment here only to say that statement does not reflect my
opinion at all, and was not discussed with the other DMB members
before Robie sent it. I have absolutely no idea whether that statement
is simply Robie's opinion, or actual policy of the DMB.

Personally I do not think new members should be expected to attend the
majority of DMB meetings; I think it's 100% fine for members to
participate asynchronously using the mailing list (or proxy voting,
but with ML voting, I don't really see the need for proxy voting).
