[rssac-caucus] Service Coverage WP: last attempt: call for WP leader.

Wed Mar 20 01:12:30 UTC 2019

Hello,
I really feel guilty not putting myself forward after reading this thread.
A small part (like 20%) of me is saying why not give it a go and the while
the other part is saying you need to learn more within the community first
before taking up such a huge role that requires a lot of experience after
reading the statement of work several times. I have never worked directly
on a root server and not as experienced as a lot of you. I wish I am.
I have to be open here, I  am not fully putting myself forward but am
willing to take up the role maybe as deputy leader and do as much as I can
if I get someone with more experience who is willing to mentor me.
Thanks
