Kunal,

I hear you but we only have 3 people who actually put the effort into applying for the position.  We are appointing people who are at least trying to help.  If you want to help in the process please feel free to put your name on the list.

The original mail doesn't really make it clear what impact one might have by joining, or what would be expected of a member. Asking people to click a link for details loses most of the audience already.

One thing that has worked pretty well in the past when we were looking for people to join TechCom was to ask for nominations, rather than volunteers. We'd then reach out to the people who were nominated, and asked them if they were interested.  Self-nominations were of course also fine.

Another thing that might work is to directly approach active volunteer contributors to production code. There really aren't so many really active ones. Ten, maybe.
