Maybe have the outgoing and existing chairs explicitly go out and encourage someone who hasn't served before to volunteer?
I struggle to reconcile our efforts toward impartiality with the notion of having the chairs encouraging a preferred candidate.
And have the chairs available to mentor/counsel newbies?
When I came aboard I had a lot of support from Peter, Jim, and Jaap for which I was grateful and that I intend to pay forward when the time comes.
Doesn't need to be a rule/bylaw change, just an intention.
I could serve two terms. At the end of the first one I decided I wanted to serve a second, and encouraging someone else to apply for the job was not my priority :p If we want to switch out chairs more frequently than every six years we should do it in the rules. dave
