Well, since I agree with Tim's viewpoint, it would seem there is not a 
consensus, as a quick head-count indicates 3 people who've said they 
think it's a good idea, and 2 who've said they don't.

If the board wants to appoint a sixth member unilaterally, it of course 
has the power to change the bylaws to do so, but votes shouldn't be 
interpreted based on criteria set *after* the voting took place.
