Thanks @ArbitrumGaming for the proposal!
We support the pragmatic extension of the current AGV Council term to ensure smooth operational continuity, particularly given the critical early execution stage and current resource constraints. It is indeed essential to avoid unnecessary operational disruptions at this juncture.
However, we have reservations about consolidating all Council terms into a unified election cycle. Transitioning the entire Council simultaneously significantly elevates the risk of operational stagnation and knowledge loss. Ideally, staggered transitions would provide continuity and mitigate these risks effectively.
To address this, we suggest considering an adjusted election structure. For example, holding elections in December but varying term lengths based on voting results. Specifically, the lowest-ranked elected member could serve a shorter, half-year term, triggering a mid-year election, or the top-ranked member could have an extended term of 1.5 years. Such an arrangement would preserve stability while ensuring periodic and manageable leadership transitions.
