I question whether that was, indeed, the intent behind the current structure.
Instead, I "understood" that  the reason for (s)electing directors from different
stakeholder groups or segments of the community was (as in most governance models)
to assure all interests a seat at the table.  As with "beauty," the best interests
of the community are in the eyes of the beholders.
