I think I cover the required points. I vey much enjoy organizing DebConf, although my available time is not what it used to be; I am sure I can devote the needed time and attention for the Committee, and will probably always continue to be involved in the DebConf orga in some way. This year I am *not* attending DebConf; would really love to go back to Israel, but late August does really not work for me ☹ But I will gladly be part of other teams from the distance. And I would love to be a part of the Committee.
