[Osmf-talk] Board term limits and term lengths

[Ilya Zverev]

Regarding the most prominent topic of the discussion, I would too prefer two-year term limits with three terms max. Because three years seems to be a long commitment, that would prevent people from standing for elections.

Also, I don't see nothing too bad with e.g. 5 of 7 board members retiring at once, given the transparency of the further meetings will be kept on the current level.
