I want to warmly recommend that people considering joining the international team :)
The international team is essential for making sure WLM 'happens' and in the past years the team has mostly decreased in size. It is important to get some new members that are excited and constructive. As you can see from Krishna's overview, there are a number of different roles, and any combination may work well for you. Don't feel shy, and just ask for a chat about the roles, to figure out what would work well for you. It is a great opportunity to learn some new skills too. Right now, the innovation at the international level is mostly at a standstill, and with a few new members, there may be more opportunity to develop the concept and address challenges! Feel free to forward this to a friend or introduce them to Krishna.
