<br>
New in this TC election round, we have a few days between nominations<br>
and actual voting to ask questions and get to know the candidates a bit<br>
better. I'd like to kick off this new "campaigning period" with a basic<br>
question on available time and top priority.<br>
<br>
All the candidates are top community members with a lot of<br>
responsibilities on their shoulders already. My experience tells me that<br>
it is easy to overestimate the time we can dedicate to Technical<br>
Committee matters, and how much we can push and get done in six months<br>
or one year. At the same time, our most efficient way to make progress<br>
is always when someone "owns" a particular initiative and pushes it<br>
through the governance process.<br>
<br>
So my question is the following: if elected, how much time do you think<br>
you'll be able to dedicate to Technical Committee affairs (reviewing<br>
proposed changes and pushing your own) ? If there was ONE thing, one<br>
initiative, one change you will actively push in the six months between<br>
this election round and the next, what would it be ?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your answers !<br>
