The simplest solution I can come up with is:
Election in October 08 for four two year terms
Board members who are elected in October 08 take their seat at the
Annual meeting.
Annual meeting takes place in March.
Founders also have two year terms.
Which means:
Founders are up for re-election October 2010 with their seats being
replaced or renewed March 2010
The four new members are up for re-election October 2011 because they
don't take their seats until March 2009.
It also means we only have elections once every two years and once every
two years only ~ 50% of the board is being replaced.
Further, officers keep their seats for the length of their term. If they
are re-elected, board elects new officers (which of course may be the
same people).
I see this as the simplest and most effective solution. I know that we
think one year terms are good but I really don't agree. I do think 3
year terms are probably too long (which is what SPI has) but a year goes
by really fast and I would like to think that we are going to have long
term projects to have to follow up on etc...
