HI Stephanie/ Tomslin

Not sure if you saw my comment, so I am pasting it here.

There is a new rule that when the NomCom terms are changed to 2 years instead of 
1, the delegate must wait 2 years to go back on NomCom.  So it would only be 5 
years (2 on nomcom and 3 on the standing committee) at the most. That is why I 
said that the standing committee terms should not be consecutive. We need new 
blood.  I think that helps explain why I am fine with 3 years on the standing 
committee and no consecutive terms

I think if someone has served 2 years waits 2 year and then serves another 2 
years that is fine.  Or in the case of the standing committee. Serves 3 years 
and then waits 2 years again before serving again, that is also fine . It may 
not happen since there is no funding for standing committee members, so they do 
not travel.

I think this change is easier to make the changing the terms of the standing 
committee

Otherwise I think it is good to go. Manju is happy already

Best,

Judith
