Questions:
- - Sarah: Should there be term limits for Fellows (conveners)?
    - 310 consensus: Don’t think there should be limits, mostly due to the community building aspect of having the same people over time. IF there was a limit, at least 2 years.
    - 210: Think that flow of new people is important. A new applicant is possibly a brand new “best-fit”.
    - Dustin Brandy 410: Grad fellows - 2 years. Faculty - 4 years to build community.
    - Petty Prior 410: Reapplication as usual, based around the size and quality of application pool.
    - General: Maybe have them reapply, but let them know their application won’t be priority unless application pool isn’t fitting. 2 year limits also supported for both graduate and faculty.
