You are probably right, but who would make the better board member: an
average lawyer (or whatever) that's a Wikimedian or a top lawyer that
isn't?

Obviously, the board needs a decent number of Wikimedians on it, but
there is no particular need for the whole board to be Wikimedians.
(Well, Wikimedians prior to their appointment - my definition of
Wikimedian includes WMF board members, whether they came from the
community or not.)
