Barcelona president Joan Laporta spoke yesterday to the club's official media about some changes that need to be made to the club's by-laws as a consequence of the new Catalan legislation about sports clubs and associations.Laporta said that the club is thinking about introducing two main changes:
1. the term of the president would be seven years and one could only serve as president for one term.
2. people should be able to vote in the presidential elections by internet.
The changes to the club's by-laws have to be adopted by a general assembly in the summer.

pep's opinion:
if i understand it well, the new rule says that one term should be between six and eight years. in that case, I think two terms of six years would be better. if you have only one term, you could be tempted to forget about the long-term. i also think this change should mean it should be made easier to vote a president out of his seat since seven years is a long time for the next elections. the voting by internet is a great idea (if they can organize it in a secure way).
