There is a difference between steps that may be taken independently and steps that are wise to do so. Much is interconnected. The bigger picture items need to be considered first. The old metaphor about "Arranging deckchairs on the Titanic" springs to mind. There is nothing today to stop the constituencies imposing term limits (some do) if they deem that beneficial. Given this flexibility what is the pressing need to repeat this at Council level also? Philip PS as an old hand on Council I am personally overflowing with reforming zeal to change much in ICANN. I've seen it from the inside and recognise the rot within. Why give the neophytes the scalpel ?
