I fully support Patrick's remarks on expectations from volunteers based on
clear indications about time and other capacities or resources needed to
assume particular functions. Otherwise, misunderstandings are unavoidable.

Best,
Wolf

from a volunteer, especially the amount of time requested. As a volunteer,
you can be  expected to use a large part of your free time to serve on ALAC,
committees, working groups, etc. You should not be expected to work for the
ALAC in lieu of your main job, although some people might have more flexibly
than others.

volunteers should include a detailed description of the expected investment
in resources, including details on teleconference schedules, etc. It is one
thing to pressure an individual to be part of a working group, because "that
is expected from a volunteer". If we find out later that he/she is
effectively unable to participate because of time constraints or overload,
there is no gain for anyone.
