I agree. I'm not convinced term limits are the best idea but if they
are then the folks who've had their 9 years should age out as their
terms expire over the next 3. Those 3 years offer ample time for the
newcomers to get up to speed and limit the corporate memory loss.

I'm fine with the concept of term limits. Nine years seems like a
reasonable compromise between continuity and healthy turnover.
I do have some issues with this text:

Does this mean, as Andrew suggested, that the term limit timer doesn't
apply to currently serving Board members? I agree with those who have
commented that any limits should also apply to current members, so anyone
at or beyond the limit should be ineligible for reelection when their
current term ends.
There's also a potential issue with short terms, for anyone who was elected
to fill out the remainder of someone else's term. Should these partial
terms count toward the limit? Note that under the current bylaws it's
possible for someone to be elected to consecutive partial terms. At NANOG
we attempted to solve this by making the limit a fixed number of
consecutive years rather than terms.
