Body Break

5.  Process for replacing CB members

How to ensure knowledge-transfer and group memory to new CB ?

People confirmed stepping down :  JF, SSF, NW, KM

Could new people come on for a while before old people step down ?
Could we have a continuity transition period to ensure group memory and know-how ?
Would it be possible to create a role for someone who is new to the PT ?

CB Term limit ?  3 years ?
Expression of an ideal CB renewal strategy that each year 1/3 of CB stepped down and was filled with new people.

Should we all step down and do a full nomination process ?  No, that would be too costly in terms of relearning for new CB.
