Re: [apps-review] Suggested changes for Applications Area Review Team

[Eric Burger <[e-mail]>]

As a former, inaugural director of the apps review team, SM & I are 10000% in agreement here. What we are saying is this is a very tough job that after a while you just get burned out. It is an EXCELLENT venue for leadership development - you get to look at the whole area, interact with the grey beards and bald heads, and it has a decent amount of visibility that would not go unnoticed by nomcom. However, it is very stressful. I was not nearly as conscientious as SM, and thus the times for reviews varied from 1 day to 12 weeks. The outliers required multiple prodding and even multiple reviewers to get done.

I would offer that 2 years is a good *target* for the position, possibly call it 2.5years to guarantee overlap with three AD administrations.

Continuity is also about changing people with the work still getting done.  Such changes can be difficult when the person you are replacing has been in that role for a long time.
