The point of this paragraph is that, when a new chair joins the chair and get a 
feel for what is going on and therefore may wait a while until the 
responsibility is delegated, so it may not be aligned appointment cycle.  Also 
you would want some continuity, hence a long term. 



Trying to rephrase:

For continuity purposes the terms of delegation should be for a longer period, 
roughly annual.
