Kaew, I have added all three (:O) members of this year's international team.
—Yan (Ynhockey).

I have a little favor to ask:
- The current international team, please create you own page.
- Lodewijk, please provide information for 2011 and before.
This is for our own record and it may help future WLM understand the
past events.
P.S. If by 6th of Jan you can't fill in international team vacancy, I
am willing to help. This is the same as what I have offered for
WLM2014. However, unlike other well established chapters, I still
need to involve with my national contest.
Best,
Kaew

Hi Kaew,
in the past years, this was not really an issue - the number of
applications
was rather small, and the most important outcome
is that there is a team
that covers the diverse qualities needed (you need some people who are
good
with tedious tasks, some more social people, some
coordinator, someone
more
technical, someone good in PR, someone good in
communication with
countries
etc.) and that can work well together. It is in
part about chemistry :)
So in that way, it seems best to set it up like an endorsement process
based
on who commits to join the team from the past
years (so far, that seems
to
be at least Karthik and Romaine).
Just for the record: in the scenario that someone is not selected, this
does
not mean at all you're not competent! It
might very well mean that they
are
looking for another set of skills (for example,
it is very hard to find
volunteers who can coordinate the technical processes and databases etc).
I'm not in the team however, so I won't be making the decisions :) But
this
is how it happened in the past years, and it
worked well.
Best,
Lodewijk
