It's very easy to let these things drift, so I think a specific date every year at which PSC members can confirm their intention to continue is a great idea.

If any PSC members aren't willing to continue, then their removal from the PSC can be put forward as a proposal by the chair. I do think it's important to have a specific date every year that everyone knows about though, as five working days is quite short and someone might be away on holiday for example.
