Hmmm.  To do that I suppose you would have to create some rules on who 
can run.  Maybe bar admins from running for starters, that might reduce 
the risk of arbcom siding with admins. I don't think the community would 
allow Jimmy to appoint as he sees fit anymore, but if the board mandated 
a couple of seats had to be reserved fro picks, that might shake things 
up.  That would involve the board getting down in the mud though, which 
they try not to do.
