I like this, and would suggest taking it a step further:  Than an interim
AC be appointed by the BoT, with a term to expire at the first meeting of
the Arin membership, to be held not more than 3 months from the incorporation
of the organization.  At that meeting, all members of the AC will be up
for election, with one third serving a 1 year term, one third serving a 
2 year term, and the remaining serving a 3 year terms.  All future terms
will be for three years.

Agreed.  Though this makes the most sense if the models for BoT and AC
election are set in stone up front, by the bylaws.

I think this is also reasonable and important.
