Hi Stephanie,

While I agree with the general point about need of more people to
share the workload, I do *not* think this is something easy and
lightweight and safe and suitable for newcomers.

There are *a lot* of new appointments coming with lots of candidates
to assess, it would be very useful to be familiar with the types of
working groups &c to understand what kind of candidates are best.
This will be hard, ungrateful work with no perks, and I don't want to
appoint people who'll stop showing up after they realize how hard it is.

But three PC members suggesting a wider call for volunteers is enough
to persuade me, I will send out a call for volunteers to ncsg-discuss.
