I suppose this might be a useful point to butt in and say that one
reason we don't/can't easily term-limit US representatives to congress
is that it unjustly removes their right to run for office.

Obviously (I think) not apropos to IETF functioning tho perhaps in
spirit.

But it's why it took an amendment to the US constitution to impose
term limits on the presidency.

And though they're difficult to overturn some will argue that this
amendment removed not only the right of an individual to run for that
office but also the right of voters to vote for that individual.

Term limits are funny things and one thing making them an issue is
advances in medicine where people might be effective well into their
90s (Warren Buffet is 92.)
