Yup - I'm impressed with the number of people who are willing to stick with 
work far beyond the original schedule and employer's interest - 
effectively, people are *really* volunteering their time and effort.

And being wildly optimistic about when their day job will permit them to 
get back to the WG-chair stuff is, I'm afraid, quite normal - I know it far 
too well from my own experience. We (all of us) should be better at calling 
for help early!
