I am more attracted to the idea that it’s simply based on HN activity, without a separate vote. Decide on the # of guests, say 2-3, go down the list of top stories, and reach out to the OP’s until there is a “quorum” of those who agree to participate. I think a method like this would be more likely to expose lesser-known folks.
