I don't see how it would be any more competitive as everyone who stays on the board will not be running in that period. For it to become more competitive you would need to argue how the move makes it more attractive to hand in a candidacy. And so far I have only seen arguments that it makes it less attractive. Please also keep in mind that currently most people who re-run after being on the board are also re-elected.
