I'm not a committee member, just an observer from the outside, but it looks to me that people that aren't familiar with the proposal should abstain from the discussion.

That's not going to work. You go to Kona and the committee is like mate, we haven't bothered to read your paper, why don't you wait six months and come to Tokyo instead.
Right, so why was the paper scheduled for discussion then? They do put up a list of what will be discussed and voted, don't they? And if they do schedule the paper, and still don't read it, and especially if that happens on a regular basis then that shows that the committee is unqualified for the job.
