If the board selects its own voters than this can create a potential conflict 
of interest in some cases. I think it would be better to avoid this from the 
beginning. I fully trust the current board to handle this conflict of 
interest in the right way, but why create a potentially problematic situation 
when it's easy to avoid that.

I also think that the time of the board can be spent better than on reviewing 
membership applications.
