Or no term limits :)

Well, there is still the potential for gaming the system, because fixed
dates are not practical as you say. It's not that the person who is
affected considers it to be a problem, although I can very well imagine
that he thinks it is unfair. It's human, and having emotions doesn't
disqualify someone as a board member. It's about the whole set of skills
and personality of a potential candidate.
