Key Takeaways

•Members and their backups serve for 2 years until someone new takes over.
•For the first group, half of the wine-maker members serve 1 year, the other half serve 2 years. This is decided by luck (like drawing straws).
•No one can serve more than 4 times in a row.

Example

Imagine a group of wine-makers joining a new board.

Half of them will work on the board for 1 year, and the other half for 2 years. They pick who gets what by chance, like flipping a coin. After that, everyone serves for 2 years, but no one can be on the board more than 4 times in a row.
