It would be good if they could explain the justification for the  
anomaly - a fixed longer membership might be justifiable but one that  
varies between 2 and 14 months seems indefensible from here. When do  
we really become members of the community? Once a random event happens  
i.e. an election or a fixed term?

The election event may be random if someone chooses to resign/retire  
early, as opposed to the annual vote which I would hope is held on a  
fixed basis since it is a factor in membership of the community.
