ultimikeI think this is a fantastic idea - and one that will (hopefully) be part of the discussion of our community's evolving governance (along with #2893943: Clarify process and follows it, with oversight of ombudsman/watchdog).

gdemetMany nonprofits (including the Drupal Association) limit service to two 3-year terms, or 6 years total. I think something like this could work for the CWG, particularly if the terms were staggered so that 1-2 members rotated every year or two. I'd also suggest that only members in their second term were eligible for leadership positions in the group (e.g, chair).
As this would require changes to our charter, I agree that this is probably most appropriate to bring up in the context of larger community governance discussions.

gdemetClosing this issue, as we have adopted a new charter specifying that "a member may serve up to two 3-year terms (6 years total)."
