As a TC member, I would like there to be some structure to the job,
because there's never a good time to step down, there's always something
in progress, etc.  If there is a schedule that everyone has agreed to,
then it's reliable and predictable and straightforward.

If we don't end up getting that into the constitution, I will set a
schedule for my own involvement in the TC independently.  But I think we
will, institutionally, benefit from having there be a commonly-agreed-on
schedule that we all use, including people who are considering joining.

I really don't think it's a matter of trust so much that some things do
work better with a process agreed-on in advance, even when everyone has
the same goals and same desires.

The TC could indeed go off and come up with a process on its own, but why
not involve the project as a whole?  Other people have had really good
ideas about what that project would look like.
