I agree with the need for some kind of term limit requirement. I think our governance could also benefit from better specification of when Board members are up for re-election. Right now, I believe the requirement is 1/3 of the Board each year. This has led to confusion about who and how many exactly need to go for election. To simplify this, a suggestion for consideration: a single term of a Board member seat be 2 years, and that each year, either 3 or 4 seats be up for re-election.</span></div><div></div><div>-Mikel</div><div><br></div><div>* Mikel Maron * +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron</div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light,
