In my opinion, we don't need to expire people for time reasons.  It is 
unnecessary overhead to go through this just for the sake of having 
elections.

Instead we should expire people voluntarily or if they haven't actually 
done anything.  That alone would open many spots and allow fresh blood in.

People should vote in new members if they have earned respect of fellow 
community members.  Generally this requires doing things in Extras.
