I think it's not a very good case for a longer term, though.
Just a few mails earlier we have seen an email in which a candidate
wondered whether they could make enough time available.
With a longer term that problem gets worse, not better.
At one point the board discussed allowing candidates to run either for a two year or one year term. I think that would solve your issue: candidates who are working on projects that require more time can run for a two year term and those who are unable to make a long term commitment could run for a one year term.
