You raised some good points here. But I don't think two years helps
anybody at all. Here are some of the reasons why.
In the last council we lost almost half of the people. Extending that
for 2 years.. What's it solve? 1/3rd of the orig ppl will be on the
council by the time the terms are over? People change as well as what
they want to do. Don't tie them up in the politics for so long that they
lose whatever good it was that made them a dev in the first place.
If they are good at being a councilmen then the chances of them being
reelected is good. 2 years terms means we can also be stuck with a
**ckhead for a long time. Big no thanks there. Plus it's nice to cycle
some new blood in.
I'm in favor of 1 year terms for council. Trustees on the other hand.. 2
years would be nice as the first few months seems to be spent sorting
out stuff from the previous set (paper work etc..)
