After an International Executive Committee member has served eight years, he is ineligible to serve in that role for how long?

The correct answer is two years because the rules governing the eligibility of members of the International Executive Committee are designed to encourage fresh leadership and prevent stagnation within the organization. After serving a full term of eight years in a significant leadership position, a member must wait for a two-year period before they can be considered for re-election or reappointment to the same role. This policy helps ensure that new perspectives can come into the leadership, fostering a dynamic and responsive governance structure. It also allows time for potential candidates to gain experience or insight in other areas, contributing to their overall development and effectiveness should they choose to return to that leadership position in the future.
