Can we have write-in candidates?

What do the by-laws say when (as now) there are fewer candidates than positions? I count six candidates for a seven-member board.
Our bylaws don't make any special provisions for such a scenario. Assuming that, as a result of the election, one seat remains vacant -- and, at the moment, I don't see any way to avoid this -- the Board can subsequently appoint someone to fill the vacant seat under a provision of the DC Code (§ 29-406.10).
