I also like the idea of enforced term limits (1 year?) Like, multiple terms are okay, but no one can serve two terms in a row.
I like the idea, but I'm not sure how well it will work in practice. If we had a larger electoriate, I'd be for it. But if it is the board 'self-electing', I'm not sure that term limits would just be a formality more than of any practical use. It would be just as easy to vote them off as to vote for them to have another term.
It's kinda like congress not voting to not give them self a cost of living increase versus just voting for a pay raise.
Okay, well the main thing is it would be nice to have some automatic means of injecting fresh blood into the board from year to year. Also, if there's some polite way to remove inactive board members (voting them off seems like it could be impolite and messy), that may help make room for new people.
