[Osmf-talk] Board terms...

[Simon Poole]

Just as a note to the candidates:

Mikel has in his answers to the questions on
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Foundation/AGM15/Election_to_Board
referred to three year terms multiple times, there are however no such
three year terms.

Your term will be determined by a rotation system as long as the current
articles remain unchanged. There was a long discussion last year on this
list on the subject which explored the topic in depth. The tl;dr version
is that your term can be anything from 2 to 4 years, depending on when
board members were elected, when they step down, how large the board is
in absolute terms and likely on the phase of the moon too.

As example, assuming nothing out of the norm happens:

2016 Kate and either Frederik or Paul will have to stand for re-election
(note: one 3 year and one 2 year term)
2017 The "lucky" one in 2016  plus one of the successful candidates of
this year will need to stand (note: 2 year term)
2018 Two of the remaining three successful candidates from this year
will need to stand (note: 2x 3 year term)
2019 The remaining successful candidate from this year will have to
stand (note: 4 year term)
