We are proposing to extend the term of directors from two years to three years. We have found that rapid turnover within the foundation has made it difficult to address longer-term issues and have a reasonable promotion of directors to leadership roles within the foundation. It's important that leadership roles are able to grow first observing in the foundation before taking on a leadership role and in turn advancing to a higher role. Having a three-year term affords the possibility of doing this within a single term.
As part of changing to the three-year term, there will not be an election cycle in 2025 with the next cycle being in 2026.
In compliance with Section 3.9(f) of the Board of Directors Election Policy and Procedures, we are posting this proposed change and requesting Member comments on this Pull Request through May 31st, 2025 at 00:00 UTC.
