The bylaws say that the Board can do whatever it wants. However an ad-hoc interpretation of the voting results after the vote has concluded would hardly fill me with confidence. If you want a 6th board member, have another vote, with well-defined rules.
If there is a consensus to do this, then there is no need for another vote.
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.
