I like the idea of an annual election so that there aren't any hard feelings. I personally have no problem with the same person being re-elected every year. This is pretty much what the members do with the board elections - some members have served for a long time while others rotate more frequently. Personally, I would prefer it if this was an across the board policy that applied to all PMCs.
