I'm kind of interested in stepping up for community council, however I'm too worried that there will end up being times where I'll have to disappear or just have no time to put in the work required due to external issues (tons of crunch time on a game I'm finishing, for example).

I'd rather not attempt it than end up not being able to give the community the attention I feel they deserve from me in that capacity. (And that's why I try to push extra hard during the times that I am around.)
