I personally don't like the veto system. It is uncomfortable both for the board *and* the people involved. Pool to choose from is much better.
Choosing in a pool may also be a problem if the pool was selected through a complete election process, as the board would be expected to choose the people according to the percentage of support they got. This is the case for the english arbcom. I am not aware Jimbo ever felt embarassed with any of the pool member, but it is likely he feels compound to pick up the top of the pool.
Choosing in a pool selected by support/oppose election type would be much easier, but a much more complicated process if the number of nominees is largely bigger than the number of final members. Is it best to pick up 1 person with 80% of support - 10 votes, or to pick up 1 person with 70% of support - 100 votes ?
I think the final decision is mostly one based on what we want the Foundation type to be, private Foundation (business Foundation) or public Foundation (communittee Foundation) ?
