Mike,
thanks for your thoughts. I do believe that two years make a lot of
sense but don't think we should extend it to three years.

Some rationale: Obviously it would collide with our staggered approach
to the board elections. While we could change that too I think that we
will get a hard time finding directors who want to commit for three
years. Asking for two years of commitment is already quite a lot of
volunteer time. Especially the uniqueness of the president roles makes
it even more strenuous. While you are on the board there is always an
option to disappear for two, three weeks into holiday or some such in a
exposed role of single president this shows a lot more.

Cheers,
Arnulf
