Yes, there's a subtle difference between aiming for a 3yr tenure where 
the longest-serving 1/3 retire each year, and replacing 1/3 of the 
members.

There's a middle course, which is to put the longest-serving 1/3 "up for 
re-selection", which could mean having a 6yr stint. And would give some 
security of tenure to newly appointed people.

But as this is all happening inside a black box, we don't really know 
what the methodology is.
