Proposals Finalized AIPs
31

Thanks for the proposal QB team and @Srijith-Questbook

I would like to request term limits of maximum 1 year on the domain allocation seats for individuals. i.e. each individual can occupy the seat for maximum 1 year.

Rationale:

  1. Preventing entrenchment and foster new ideas: Long-serving members may become resistant to new ideas and less receptive to fresh perspectives.Term limits encourage a regular infusion of new talent and expertise.
  2. Mitigating conflicts of interest: Long-serving members may develop close relationships with grant applicants or recipients, potentially leading to conflicts of interest.Term limits can help mitigate such conflicts and ensure the decision-making process remains impartial & fair.
  3. Encouraging mentorship: offers opportunities for experienced members to mentor & train their successors.This can help build institutional knowledge and maintain consistency in the programs mission while still introducing new perspectives.
  4. Reinforcing democratic principles: rotation in public office prevents the concentration of power while ensuring that decisions are made with the broader interest in mind.
