Hi Shiju,<br><br>This was discussed earlier during MoA drafting.<br><br><a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_India/MoA#Article_VII_-_Composition_of_EC.2C_.234">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_India/MoA#Article_VII_-_Composition_of_EC.2C_.234</a><br>

<br>There was no support for that discussion at that time. Current board members decided like that. <br><br>Most of the chapters has only one year term <br><a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_India/bylaws/historic#Existing_chapters">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_India/bylaws/historic#Existing_chapters</a>.<br>

&gt; Does this means that existing 5 members will continue for ever unless they<br>
&gt; themselves decides to step down. This is a major concern for community<br>
&gt; since  all the existing/resigned members are self appointed.<br>
<br>
</div>No no, Shiju! The term is two years!<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
