Thanks William, I think this is a really sensible suggestion and something along these lines can be implemented both for the Board and for the Projects Committee. In terms of the details I think the easiest would be if the number of members divided by, say, 3 then you could have a standard 3 year term with a 1/3 of the members leaving each year.
