It states that Chairs and Vice-Chairs may serve for no less than two years and no more than four years, which means one term of two years and a maximum of two terms concurrently. What happens after that? Is there a Colling period after which any Chairs and Vice-Chairs can apply again and run again? In NomCOM, we have a two-year Colling period after each term.</span></div><div style=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"></font></span></div><div style=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></span></div><div style=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"></font></span></div><div><span>There is no clarification in the document. I hope it's not the current intention that once someone has server 2 terms, they can never apply for that position again in their entire life span? If so than it must be thought again by the UASG community , do we really want to loose all leaders permanently. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span><br></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span><span>It's also surprising that the uasg.tech website contains no details regarding previous UASG leaders.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span><span><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span><span>Thanks</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span><span><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span><span>Bomi</span></span></div><div class="protonmail_quote">
