I missed the potential interaction with increasing the committee size
to 9. With a two week minimum discussion period and a two week voting
period, the earliest that could be accepted would be July 30th or so,
so it seems likely that would result in an extra appointment in the
period between Aug 1st 2014 and Nov 1st 2014. Combined with the above,
that's something more like:
2014-09-01 "Zach" appointed as 9th ctte member
2014-11-01 Keith @ 12 months, Zach @ 2 months, no compulsory removals
2015-11-01 Keith @ 24 months, Zach @ 14 months, no compulsory removals
2016-11-01 Zach @ 26 months, Ian removed, "Alice" appointed
2017-11-01 Alice @ 12 months, Bdale removed, "Bob" appointed
2018-11-01 Alice @ 24 months, Bob @ 12 months, no compulsory removals
2019-11-01 Bob @ 24 months, Steve removed, "Carol" appointed
2020-11-01 Carol @ 12 months, Andi removed, "Dave" appointed
2021-11-01 Carol @ 24 months, Dave @ 12 months, no compulsory removals
2022-11-01 Dave @ 24 months, Don removed, "Emma" appointed
2023-11-01 Emma @ 12 months, Russ removed, "Fred" appointed
2024-11-01 Emma @ 24 months, Fred @ 12 months, no compulsory removals
2025-11-01 Fred @ 24 months, Colin removed, "Gwen" appointed
2026-11-01 Gwen @ 12 months, Keith removed, "Harry" appointed
2027-11-01 Gwen @ 24 months, Harry @ 12 months, no compulsory removals
2028-11-01 Harry @ 24 months, Zach removed, "Irene" appointed
2029-11-01 Irene @ 12 months, Alice removed, "Jack" appointed
Total term lengths would then be:
- Ian: 18 years (1998-2016)
- Bdale: 16 years (2001-2017)
- Steve: 13 years (2006-2019)
- Andreas: 14 years (2006-2020)
- Don: 13 years (2009-2022)
- Russ: 14 years (2009-2023)
- Colin: 14 years (2011-2025)
- Keith: 13 years (2013-2026)
- Zach: 13 years (2014-2028)
- Alice: 13 years (2016-2029)
ie, an additional couple of years for each member compared to my
previous simulation:
