<p>HI Evan,</p>
<p>The extension of the Term Limits was hotly debated over several
sessions of the group working on the revised rules. Some parties
wanted to extend the term to 4 terms, while others wanted a
smaller to keep it as is. There was a compromise forged on 3
terms, up from 2. Numerous reasons were discussed, but the
primary issue was 1) IF NA wanted to have an ALAC Chair, we need
at least 3 terms to make that happen. 2) Some work could not be
completed in 2 terms, but could be done in 3 terms. We wanted term
limits for newcomers, but we also wanted to keep people who were
very effective for one more term, for a total of 3 terms. So this
was the compromise so that we can get all the benefits of the 2
issues I flagged. I am doing this by memory and hope I did not
get it wrong.</p>
<p>Other changes were to have the rules be in compliance with the
ALS and Individual rules that were adopted in the past years, and
we needed to make them align with the NARALO Rules of Operations<br>
</p>
<p>Hope it was helpful</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Judith<br>
