[council] Terms of ICANN Board Directors

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Marilyn,

The Board term limits are set out in (
http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VI) :

Article VI, Section 8 (5):

"5. Subject to the provisions of the Transition Article of these Bylaws,
no Director may serve more than three consecutive terms. For these
purposes, a person selected to fill a vacancy in a term shall not be
deemed to have served that term."

A Director is normally appointed for a 3 year term, so this would mean a
total of 9 years is possible.
