Does this need a second?  If it does, I second it.

Subject: [Eg-oversight-board] Motion: change rules of governance to clarify
Board terms

Hi,

This is the technical motion I mentioned earlier today.  I move that we
change the rules of governance to clarify when Board member terms begin and
end.  Specifically,

[1] Change section 2.3 to

"The Board shall consist of eleven members."

[2] Add a section 2.4 containing

"2.4. Term

a. The term of each Board member is three years.

b. At the end of the Evergreen Conference for a calendar year, the term of
outgoing Board members will end and the term of incoming Board members will
begin. If no Evergreen Conference is held during a calendar year, terms will
begin and end at midnight EDT on April 30.

c. One-third of the Board positions shall be open for election each year. To
implement this, each Board seat shall be designated a member of a cohort
labeled "A", "B", or "C". Appendix A lists the cohort and next election date
for Board members as of 12 April 2013."

[3] Replace the original Appendix A (which listed the original Board
members) with a table listing the election cohort of the current board
seats.

I have attached a PDF of the rules of governance as revised by this
proposal.  A diff of the changes can be found at
