[NCUC-EC] NCUC Bylaw ambiguity on NCUC Chair Term limit

[Amin Hacha]

I support your proposal, Ken, to include this item on the ballot for this
election.

I suggest that the Chair be elected for a single one-year term without the
option of serving continuous terms. The Chair should be a member who has
served on the EC in the current year of the election.
I believe that the new Chair must be well-informed and well-versed in all
the discussions that have taken place in the EC. This will empower the EC
to move forward effectively.

Regards,
Amin
