I am aware that one or two people have suggested a limit of one term (3 years).  Others have suggested no limit at all.  In my opinion, a limit of 3 years is much too short, and I will not propose a bylaws change to introduce such a short limit.

Yes, bylaws changes take effect immediately.

We no longer have alternate directors, but I think the question is: What happens to somebody who previously served a term as an alternate Director under the previous bylaws, and is now serving a term as a Director under the current bylaws, without a break in between the two terms?  Does that count as two consecutive terms for the purposes of any term limit?  I don’t know the answer.
