<span>Rotation is critical to infusion of new blood and ideas and vibrancy. At the same time we want to retain our best members for continuity and stability of MAG. Finding the correct balance is always a challenge. I have seen prior lists of the demography of current members and their tenure. Perhaps we can circulate this and the current rules of rotation. This would clarify our understanding and have us better prepared prior to the nominations rolling in.</span></div>

> I defer on process to the nomination Committee. I was only highlighting that the rules does not apply to the current composition of the MAG.<br><br>I think the problem is that the "rotation rule" has been poorly explained/understood.<br>
<br>On one hand we might have expected that it was a "first in-last out" rotation process, where 1/3 were changed each year. Hard luck in a startup, where in year two everyone's equal, but to get the process going you simply have to send the short straw to a third of the group.<br>
<br>On the other hand, if it's merely "one third rotated off each year, regardless of previous tenure" then it's inevitably going to be skewed towards newcomers leaving. As
far as I can see, we have 16 members who've been there since day 1 (which is a quarter).<br><br>> On 1/11/12 7:47 AM, Roland Perry wrote:<br>>> In message <<a href="mailto:4F0C6941.1010905@eff.org" target="_blank">4F0C6941.1010905@eff.org</a>>, at 08:37:21 on Tue, 10 Jan 2012, Katitza Rodriguez <<a href="mailto:katitza@eff.org" target="_blank">katitza@eff.org</a>> writes<br>
