   What time commitment is expected? (I assume the expertise expected is
for a single Working Group.)

  What's your experience with folks who need to follow more than one stream?
(I have had to remain near-home in order to cover everything I need to.
Perhaps an academic setting could maintain 8 rooms; but essentially no
workplace can do that.)

   What do you mean, early? Alia certainly has access to _premature_ agendas;
but I'm not sure they'd be helpful. And, of course, agendas _do_ change even
after the start of an IETF week...
