I think the influence of the board on the voting mechanism can be somewhat 
reduced if any board member can be only 1 or maybe 2 consecutive periods in the 
position of a board member. Then we already rule out that they only 'grant 
membership' to users that would vote for them. Not being able to be re-elected 
makes this usecase void.

I would not go as far and block them completely after several periods, but 
having the board remixed once in a while is probably not bad neither.
