By some bizarre stroke of misfortune, I was elected to the committee a few years ago. Half way through my term, I wrote an essay about my thoughts on the committee. The short version is that the job fucking sucks. The jobs sucks a bit less when everyone on the team is active and pulling their weight. Because of this, I am biased towards people who have a history of working on the project in high stress-low reward positions such as clerking, CU/OS, being one of the people that runs the FA process, etc. There are 11 positions so I am going to be voting for 11 or less candidates. Everyone else will get an oppose or neutral.
