The board isn't really directly technical, at least in the sense of being responsible for technical decisions of the project (or of related projects which might find a home under the foundation umbrella; for instance if any of the libraries being used in the extended callback enhancement work needed a home and would be made available for general use, it would be of tremendous benefit to OpenAFS to have those continue to be maintained and developed, but not all users of those libraries would want or need to be involved in other OpenAFS efforts; Another TAC could be convened for that project). Their duty is to ensure the corporation would fulfill all legal responsibilities, and obligations and expectations of its members. The Technical Advisory Council, why would you want term limits? One presumes people who are donating money aren't just throwing the money away and will be intelligent about putting their best-qualified people towards stewarding what they've provided. Likewise, the elected community members will I assume not get re-elected if they are not serving their constituency. In that regard a term limit restricts the freedom of members to vote for those they feel best represent their views and are interested in serving. As to the project leaders, they are subject to recall and additional members being added to their ranks, but a term would be "as long as they continue to be of use to the community", effectively.
