Change the bylaws as follows (see link)
Moved by Justin, Seconded by Mike
16 Ayes / 2 Nays
Result: PASS
Proposal Link: [[1]]
Discussion: Chairperson election
- What happens if the board can't reach a 2/3 majority?
- consensus: being able to agree on a chair is the first test of the board's ability to work together. If they can't reach a 2/3 opinion, they should keep talking until they can.
Discussion: Term Limits
- Consecutive terms limit the ability of the board to transfer knowledge
- is i3 a stable enough organization for term limits
- Goal was to prevent burnout, but some argue that burnout will or will not happen regardless of rule changes
