Samantha Dickinson Tweeted this photo from the ICANN meeting today and tagged it #VolunteerFatigue.  I’m living proof.

Let’s say that each of those 7 working groups needs 4 volunteers — that’s almost 30 people.  Just from the ccNSO.  Just for upcoming working groups.  Never mind the GSNO, ALAC, SSAC and GAC.  A rough extrapolation puts the total required at over 100 volunteer community members just to handle the IANA/Accountability/Transition work.

ICANN is dangerously thin at the bottom of the bottom-up process.  Are there that many people with the experience/time/expertise/will available?  What happens to all the other Working Group work in the meantime?
