Jordi, what you may be missing that IETF is (for a lack of a better 
word) a meritocracy, not a democracy.  That includes finding the most 
suitable person for the job, so citing issues of unfairness (to those 
that may not fulfill requirements) misses the point.  If taking care 
of the minutes requires some degree of English skills, that's what 
should be required.
