I volunteer. I have no revolutionary agenda or financial skin in this game,
and my current career does not intersect with A/V. I have been generally
reading the mailing list since March 2023. I can provide the following
services,

1) Being an effective de-escalator and diplomat. There are bursts of
tension I notice that can hurt morale. Most but not all of the tension can
probably be talked through, socialized better, or worked out over some
other medium such as slides or voice calls. I am recognized for this
ability by my peers in other experiences.

2) Fostering teamwork and collaboration by pushing broken conversations
toward a solution or middle ground and providing feedback to help improve
habits of bad or emotional communication. Sometimes that means being a
sounding board and absorbing the heat and I am able to handle that.

3) Welcoming and encouraging new contributors and professional/polite
constructive criticisms. Conversely, identifying sources of toxicity (which
exist in any team) and helping understand their root cause. If
uncomfortable calls need to be made, advocating for the appropriate voting
and action so that something is done and things can be “unstuck.”
