Good candidates are people who have a feel for community wants, and can do what Texrat said - filter noise for Nokia/Intel. I feel anyone with some experience in the community who actively spends their time in several (by no means all) forum topics, mailing lists, etc. qualifies. If you are already regularly spending many hours in maemo discussions here or elsewhere (couggh.. RevD), you naturally are making the time commitment.

There are certainly valuable characteristics to add to that basic qualification, particularly experience with event organization, user-group activity, media skills, team management or corporate governance.

There are *plenty* of folks here who can do a fine job reflecting the community in a positive light!
