	I'm really not a fan of punishment, and further, after
	the Vienna IETF I experienced (for the first time)
	difficult getting minutes from my scribes (all three of
	them, actually). So no matter how much time I may have
	set aside to edit/complete minutes, without the raw
	material from the scribes, it really didn't matter. So in
	this case, what are you going to do, punish (subtract
	points) from the scribe, or from the WG chair for
	choosing a "bad" scribe? 

	Just doesn't seem workable to me.
