I've had similar thoughts. Let's not forget this is a volunteer organization. It's hard to hold volunteer's feet to the fire. For some people (and I'm not talking about myself) IETF participation is a sideline to their day jobs. If we up the minimum required effort level too much, we may find ourselves limited to participants that are paid to participate.
