I'm happy to assist with the "evaluation" team.

i think Avri's got it exactly right -- eventually, we are *all* evaluators
(well, except for us co-chairs). that's why i called it "evaluation" rather
than "evaluators". the evaluation team is going to help us structure the
information about the proposals in a way to make that evaluation more
consistent. that framework will also provide a way for proposal-advocates to
understand where the gaps are in their proposals, issues that need further
work, etc.
at the same time, i think it's a good idea to only do one thing -- either be an
advocate for a proposal, or work on structuring and facilitating the
evaluation. partly because it avoids the appearance of conflict, but also
because doing both is going to be a boatload of work. :-)
carry on -- i'm about to drop off the 'net again for the rest of the day (i'm
on holiday) but i'll look in again later this evening...
