  • •Most committee members serve for 2 years at a time.
  • •At the start, some members are picked to serve 1 year and others 2 years by random choice.
  • •No one can be on the committee for more than 8 years in a row (4 terms of 2 years each).
  • •If someone leaves early, a new person is picked to finish their time using the same rules as before.
