Yes, absolutely. I've been chatting to various people about it over the last couple of months, so..

I'd actually like what Russ talks about with having a «serve for one (or two) terms, then don't serve for a term, else it'd be easy to always go «yup».

I like Russ' approach here too, assign a random term start so we don't suddenly have a large number of people being forced to resign and be reappointed. Maybe just do it as a FIFO with a fixed distribution over whatever we end up as the term limit? > YMMV. I think I'd rather second a proposal along these lines than actually > propose it... I'd be happy to propose something if we get something approaching consensus on a proposal. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
