Hi Manavpreet, Would it be possible to clarify the workload/expectation in terms of time commitment for such a committee/commission role?
Similarly, it would be useful to know roughly what kind of skills the WMF is looking for from folks on these committees. (If there are current or former members, I'd be happy if they could chime in as well!)
