the terms of the initial permanent board shall be extended for convenience
purposes to allow for a method of future replacement of permanent board
members on an annual basis with 1/3 of the permanent board being replaced
every year beginning july 1, 2001. (all members of the initial board should
server at least 2 years to insure continuity in the critical start-up period)

i believe that the most critical decisions are going to be made within the
first 24 months of the initial start-up of the new IANA. it is imperative
that a consistency and continuity be maintained in that period so that the
needless distractions that come from political posturing and the related
pressures on board members be minimized. the board needs to be free to
concentrated on the tasks at hand without these additional distractions.

respectfully  yours
