What kind of time investment is required from people volunteering for that?

1h/month? 1h/day?

> The OpenStreetMap Foundation Board of Directors ("Board") wishes to    proceed with creation of a Software Dispute Resolution Panel    ("Panel") made up of volunteer Foundation members who will resolve    software disputes around OpenStreetMap-focused software, whose    owners chose this arbitration. For now, only the iD editor is    concerned, but others might eventually opt in.
>  
>  In deference to concerns expressed by some community members that    the Board itself would seek to control the outcomes of dispute    resolution or otherwise meddle with the Panel, and considering the    offer of the Data Working Group to assume responsibility for    resolving software disputes, the Board has decided to solicit    volunteers from the Foundation membership for the Panel, but asks    that they be nominated by one of the OSM community's Working Groups.    If more than five nominees are presented to the Board, the Board    will select five from among them. The nominees may be members of a    Working Group but that is not a requirement for service on the    Panel. Working Groups are encouraged to recruit volunteers for the    Panel.
>  
>  If you are willing to assist in resolving software disputes please    contact one of the working groups and submit your name for    nomination to the Panel. The working group will vet your candidacy    and if it is found suitable will forward it to the Board. Thank you    for your service to OSM.
