Running text requirement?

[Roozbeh Pournader]

In my experience, no such requirement is a binary yes/no. If you have a
good character candidate, run it by the list, or just write a proposal. UTC
tends to look at all the merits together, instead of a list of things that
should all be there or else there won't be a character.
