Been in the international team is also more of applying for grant,
documenting, following up and keeping track of status of all
participating countries. Time to be spent may vary according to the
skill of team members; more the skills and people, lesser the burden;
however you can assume 10 hours a week during the contest (just
horrifying).
I want to add to that everyone on the time does this as a volunteer, but
that doesn't mean you're not committed. I noticed the past couple of
years in organizing teams that some of the members went below the
minimum activity threshold, not communicating, not doing their action
points, etc. If someone joins the international team, that person is
expected to be committed and that person should expect the same for the
other members of the team. It's better to have a committed small (core)
team and a bunch of volunteer around that team that do particular tasks
than have some big half inactive team. If you manage to assemble such a
team suddenly everything seems to go easy and smooth, so you can focus
on the real challenges.
As for the grant part. Getting a grant in our movement is just a
horrible process. It changes every year, but it always feels like
torture (advanced granting techniques?). You might just want to split
the getting the grant part from the main team otherwise you risk having
a burned out team before you even start.
Put a focus on communication next year. So much to gain there.
Maarten
