What is "reasonable turnover" for the IESG?
I haven't been on a nomcom, but (from the outside) most of them seem to start with the assumption that they should not change more than 3 IESG members at a time. If that is considered prudent, then we are talking about a situation where a maximum of 1/4 of the IESG will be intentionally replaced each cycle. Factoring in mid-term resignations and the possibility that the nomcom may occasionally make a poor choice requiring quicker turnover, successful ADs who are willing to continue serving will probably be in-office for an average of 8-10 years (4-5 terms). This seems to match existing practice.
What level of turnover do you think would be healthy? And what would be the impacts of having more new ADs each year?
Margaret
