Hi Michael, I’m starting a new thread by taking out of your mail the question you ask to candidates as the other part was already covered in the other thread.

That is an interesting idea. We remotely touched on the topic on occasion, like during the in person meetings at GUADEC last year where the handover from one board to the next happens, and the consensus seemed to be that it takes a while to get up to speed when joining the board for the first time, and one is usually more efficient on their second term. You can also notice by looking up [the list of former directors](https://wiki.gnome.org/FoundationBoard) that it’s not uncommon to serve for more than one term. There was also a consensus about the fact that having people that were not on their first term alongside people who were was a good way to impart knowledge. Taking all of this into consideration, we could switch to a system where directors are elected for two years, and half of the board gets replaced every year. I’m adding that to the agenda for the in person meeting at this year’s GUADEC and maybe we’ll have a referendum in fall of this year? Thanks for raising this.
