We support this proposal, as aligning the AGV Council term with the calendar year brings much-needed stability during its first full year of execution. We also align with community suggestions around improving the transition process, such as considering staggered terms in future cycles to retain institutional knowledge, and ensuring there’s a clear handover period before new members take over. At the same time, we believe this is a good moment to reflect on what’s been accomplished so far. Evaluating the Council’s progress can help shape a clearer long-term vision, allowing us to anticipate future needs and continue improving both governance and delivery. This proposal is a strong step forward, and these additions could make it even more effective.
