Hi Jon, I don't believe there is a straight forward way to do this  
(maybe someone can correct me though).
One way I can think of for doing this is creating a script, which  
would run as a cronjob to add any members in your Members list to the  
accept_these_nonmembers field of your Board list, this would however  
have to be done through the wishlist command.
I have an announce script, which could be modified to do this fairly  
easily to do what you wish located at http://www.netera.ca/ 
mailinglists/MakeAnnounce.sh, also you will have to get http:// 
www.netera.ca/mailinglists/changemod.py to run it.

Let me know if you need a hand with modifying it if you would like to  
go this route, it shouldn't be too difficult.
