Just to level-set here ...

Do not let the current time expectation block you from being a candidate.
State how much time you can commit
but also state very clearly how you will spend it.
In other words, define the job as you believe it should
be done, within the time constraints you set.
This is roughly what Martin and I have been asking people to do for TSV AD positions since I joined the IESG in 2013. So obviously, I agree.
And of course, explain your choices of what to do... and what /not/ to do.
I might offer as a friendly amendment, explain how you can do the job with the time you are able to commit. Martin and I are working to stand up a new TSV ART before Martin leaves the IESG in April, for example. You might have ideas for your area.
I'm told that this has been done before, for candidates who /have/ been
selected.
This has been done before, and for candidates who are currently serving. I'm not sure who has said what publicly, but it's well-recognized on the IESG.
Let's make it a common and well-known practice.
Dave doesn't need me to say this (he's been on more Nomcoms than I have), but Nomcoms can't select willing nominees as candidates if they're not willing nominees. The idea is that Nomcoms "do the right thing" with the nominees they have to work with (which can, of course, include encouraging additional people to be willing nominees). If you're willing to be considered as a nominee given certain constraints, please do that. It gives Nomcoms more freedom to do the right thing.
