Hmmm. To do that I suppose you would have to create some rules on who
can run. Maybe bar admins from running for starters, that might reduce
the risk of arbcom siding with admins. I don't think the community would
allow Jimmy to appoint as he sees fit anymore, but if the board mandated
a couple of seats had to be reserved fro picks, that might shake things
up. That would involve the board getting down in the mud though, which
they try not to do.
