The point I was making in another fork of this thread was to tie the exact term length to the election timing and only state approximate lengths here, ie including 'minimum' in the above will still set a bound that complicates accommodating another slightly smaller than usual cycle.

I am in agreement with Dean that the easiest and most flexible solution is to tie the term lengths to the elections and not state a particular minimum or maximum. [...]
Does this satisfy what's required by the bylaws though? the term for the members of the Technical Committee shall be approved by a majority of the Technical Committee (“Term”) and shall be published publicly before each Technical Committee election; if no such Term is published the Term will be twelve calendar months. https://www.openstack.org/legal/technical-committee-member-policy/ I guess it doesn't *strictly* require a term duration to be specified as an explicit measure of time, so it's possible to interpret it as allowing terms to be defined according to some other criteria as long as they don't also exceed 16 months. -- Jeremy Stanley
