[council] a question that comes from reading the LSE report:

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

In recommendation 13 of the report,

     (for those who have not seen it yet :
      http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-15sep06.htm )

they recommend term limits of 2 at 2 year or 1 at 3 year.  I never gave any  
thought to how long people had been in the council and was wondering  
if a list of councilors with their years in the council could be  
generated.  I am curious as to how many councilors this would affect  
if it were the practice.  I looked for such a table in the Annex, and  
while I may have missed it, did not see one.  Might even be  
interesting to include that information in the council members list  
at http://gnso.icann.org/council/members.shtml .

Note on my personal opinions on the the issue:
I am not in general in favor of strict term limits, but i am in favor  
of transparency that allows all to know how long someone has been in  
place. In terms of renewals I tend to prefer guidelines that. e.g. say

- after 1 term  - renew unless there is a reason not to
- after 2 terms - renew if there is a good reason to do so
- after 3 terms - do not renew unless it is vitally important to do so

thanks
a.
