IIRC, the intention was to allow councilors to complete their term with a full meeting (and presumably therefore, more finished business) under their belt. This arrangement makes sense to me. 

We should seek to bring the term of chair in line with this as well.

This discussion has exposed an issue in the current bylaws in that the terms
of office of the Board and Council (and by implication Council chair) are
tied not to long standing calendar events such as the 1st January, but to a
movable feast called the ICANN annual meeting. The timing of the annual
meeting is subject to the whims of geography, hoteliers and local
organisers.
So, what exactly is the ADVANTAGE of this arrangement? Mike? Marilyn ? Ross ? Bruce? Alejandro ? do you remember? Dammed if I do.
