I'd prefer to see 1-year DPL terms and quite a short election process:
1 week for nominations, 1 week for platforms + discussion, 1 week for voting.
That should take the pain out of re-election, even as the only candidate,
and avoids having to require candidates to commit to two years of DPLship,
which can be hard to do, when it requires buy-in from spouses, family,
and employers (since the DPL will usually travel a lot).
