The major downsides of this approach:
- yet another bureaucracy type thing for people to have to keep track of,
which means more communication and bookkeeping will have to be done.
- probably a less diverse board will result... current structure makes it
more likely for fringe candidates to succeed, producing a more diverse
board -- please do debate me on this speculative point.
Biggest upside: reduction in impact from cliquish board elections that
result in an all-jerk board.
Perhaps the upside(s) we want to acquire from this change can be achieved
in another way.
While this is an interesting concept, I don't think it's necessary bureaucracy for us at this time. The benefits don't really outweigh the downsides, and we have more important issues to address like safety.
