Pierre,
I am not sure that I have the technical skills to help on the TAC, unless you need someone that can ask the layman question in advance, I will have the time as I am slowing switching toward retirement.
I Always like to learn and try new stuff.
I think having a beginner's mind is incredibly important here. Yes, this is a technical group, but if we're going to get more people into digital ham, then we need someone to ask layman questions to help make sure that we can get them on board.
Along those lines, I know the documentation and wiki need to be updated. It can be quite helpful to have someone with your level of expertise to review them, to make sure they are accessible by the widest audience possible. Plus, using simple terminology is very helpful with translation, which I know is something we want to do.
And I'm a different kettle of fish again. I don't fit into conventional roles, and my skill set is always going to be somewhat all over the place - it's the way I'm wired. But I tend to think out of the box, and I also tend to try and use things in unusual ways - one to break assumptions that programmers or administrators might make.
From where I sit, the TAC seems a bit formal for me, and I've never been
involved in managing WANs (beyond simple VPNs between distant sites), but I'd like to have input at some level. And while we're at it, I'd like to see some more thoughts on IPv6. I've been running native IPv6 for almost 9 years now.
