Hmm I do not remember a 1 year term being set.. mainly because there were several people who complained that we "the board" were either abrogating our duties by setting up yet another layer of bureaucracy or that the CWG would become the Fedora Board's Secret Police. Most of the concerns voiced after the enforcement policy was published were the same. Because of this my understanding that the CWG was to make recommendations on what the COC/enforcement should be, and the board would then work from there to charter the recommendations into the final working body. That said, if a 1 year term and ongoing moderation was in the charter and I missed it..
