Hi Marla,
The current PDP requires only two things for a policy proposal to be
accepted as a Draft Policy, to have a clear problem statement and be in
scope for the AC.
I am sure all AC members will be delighted to work with you to arrive at
the former. I am less sure how successful we will be getting around a
clear statement from the BoT that such matters are not in scope. We can
certainly give it a shot if that is the way you would prefer to go.
Alternately, all members of the Board of Trustees read these lists,
perhaps they may take the matter up directly from here?
Or they may prefer to receive the question via the suggestion process?

The AC has had some recent experience with adopting changes to standing
rules. Perhaps that might be an option.
There does appear to be a healthy amount of initial support for your idea.
How would you like to proceed?

Having been on the AC for a 6 years I support a term limit for the AC.
When on my 4th year I pursued creating a term limit. At the time I was told
this was an action the BOT would have to take. No action was taken. Later I
inquired on
this being submitted as policy since the BOT did not take action. I was told
it would be thrown out since it?s not a matter of policy. Now with time and
reviewing
other public posts, I have more hope this will be taken seriously and something
done. I include this small history on my experience to show that the idea of
term
measures has been around for a while but for some reason never gained traction.
I believe a balance between familiarity, hitting a productive stride, burn out
and mind melting needs to be balanced out with fresh able minds. I also
believe a solid
3 year break is needed for people to re-integrate as a non-AC person and
regroup. Leaving anyone on a committee for more than 6 years opens the door to
stagnation,
burn out, and conformity of thinking. Remember, just because someone is not on
the AC any longer does not mean AC folks can?t get advice from them if desired.
I propose the following be used for AC:
-Keep the 3 year terms in place and add
-a 6 year contiguous term limit
-a 3 year ineligibility year period after a term ends be it 3year or 6years
-After 3 year ineligibility is over a person my run for a position on the AC
again.
I believe the BOT should also have some term measures and limits. However, I
am asking someone who has served on the BOT in the past to create a thought out
term plan
and propose it.
To keep this topic on track, I have purposely excluded the discussion of
committee member candidate requirements. This should be a separate topic that
also needs
discussion in order to better ensure community wide representation.

Marla Azinger
