Sorry but I have to disagree there. Back when we first discussed the bylaws (now guidelines) and what the chairs term should be consensus was that the chair should be for a year/reviewed every year. A lot of other Apache projects use the one year term for chairs [1][2][3][4] (+ more) - although the exact wording/rules vary a little. IMO having the chair commit to the role for a year (every year) is important - as is having the role rotated. You can certainly propose a change to the guidelines and have it voted on if you want it changed.
