Unify SC terms

As per our constitution:

> The Steering Committee (SC) [is] composed of 7 elected individuals to
_represent_ the community

(emphasis mine)

We seek to achieve this using proportional representation, which (as per
Wikipedia):

> is achieved by any electoral system under which subgroups of an
electorate are reflected proportionately in the elected body.

Currently, this proportionality is distorted by our distinct term
durations induced by our staggering mechanism.
This proposal resolves this by removing the stagger effect, unifying the
terms, reasoning that the electorate would nevertheless remain empowered
to reelect the incumbent candidates.

Knowledge transfer, one potential intent behind the term stagger, I
imagine could be performed without retention of formal titles, if the
electorate were to pick different representatives.

Note that in unifying the term duration, I had to drop one of the
currently used term durations.
In this case I opted to retain the 1-year term duration, such as to best
reflect community preferences without requiring an increase in the
number of elections.

Further note that I left the maximum number of consecutive terms intact
at 2, which under the chosen term duration shortens the maximum
consecutive duration one can be elected for.

Finally, one question here would be how to handle SC terms for members
currently elected.
I have no strong preference on how to handle this, so would suggest
leaving this to the incumbent SC.

 ### Composition and Appointment
 
 The SC consists of 7 elected members.
-Regular elections are once a year, with half (alternating rounding every year) of the seats up for election,

+Regular elections are once a year, with each member holding a seat for one term of 1 year before it is up for election again.
 Members can at most serve two consecutive terms. There is no lifetime maximum.
 
 The previous SC appoints an Election Committee (EC) of at least 3 people to administer the election. If the SC cannot come to supermajority agreement on the list of EC members, they will elect an EC using the same tallying system as the previous SC election, where only SC members can vote.

 #### Special considerations for the first SC election
 
-- To stagger the terms, the first election will appoint half the members rounded up with 2-year terms and the remaining members with 1-year terms.
 - The EC for the first election will be the members of the [Nix Constitutional Assembly (NCA)](https://github.com/nixos/nix-constitutional-assembly?tab=readme-ov-file#members), which are thus ineligible to be elected for the first SC
 - All nominees become candidates for the first election, because there's no existing SC that would decide over disqualifying candidates.
 - And to help the first elected SC establish itself, members of the NCA are integrated into the SC as non-voting members for 6 months after the appointment. The NCA ceases to exist at the moment of SC appointment.

 #### Special Elections
 
-In the event of a resignation or other loss of a steering committee member (including a [removal for conduct](#removal-for-conduct)), a special election for that position may be held if the SC deems it necessary, or the SC does not have half of the normal size. Otherwise, the missing positions are assumed to be abstaining from all the SC votes. A committee member elected in a special election will serve out the remainder of the term of the person they are replacing, regardless of the length of that remainder.

 #### Full Reelections
 
-A simple majority within the SC may call a reelection of the entire SC based on perceived loss of confidence. In this case, it also has to be decided whether this election is considered a special election for the remainders of all the corresponding terms, or an initial election for full 2-year terms for half of the seats rounded up and 1-year half-terms for the remaining seats.
