Since I've already messed up with the private/public replies I'll just
make one more post and then shut up.
IMVHO:
1. hard-coding a date (any date) might provide "interesting" side
effects, probably easier to just use the date of the adoption of the GR,
with some grace period (e.g. one month), to allow planing for the first
expiry.
2. The above reads to me (as a non-native speaker) like it would apply
to *all* TC members, not only those with terms longer than imposed by
the (amended) Constitution.
Slightly more complicated, needs review from a native speaker:
As a transitional measure, the terms of any current members of the
Technical Committee that exceed the limit above at the time of
adoption of this General Resolution shall instead expire every 6
months, starting one month after adoption of this General
Resolution, in descending order of seniority.
Kind regards,
Andrei
