Notice the difference between "Thinking through a proper proposal" 
and "Implementing term limits".  The former comes before making the 
decision, the latter comes afterwards.

If the problem is the work in preparing the decisions then just ask for 
help.  If any board member would have sent a mail to this thread 
saying "we have decided we would like to add term limits but don't have 
the time to put together a solid proposal for that, could someone 
please prepare something" i am sure there would have been takers.  In 
fact i originally thought the purpose of this thread was to develop a 
proposal together with the members (which would have made sense 
considering the previous initiative for term limits came from the 
membership).

The argument from Frederik that making decisions is limited by the lack 
of paid staff to do the work (either in preparation or in implementing 
the decision) is only valid if you have asked for volunteers and did 
not find any.
