I'm leaning toward longevity (# of completed seasons, most recent within the past 2 months) as being the only qualification right now.
I also like the idea of converting an existing league instead of making a new one, the only downside to that would be not getting an allocation draft.
I prefer the idea of starting over with a new league / allocation draft. Otherwise, what do you do with the owners currently in the league you'd convert? Surely not all of them would qualify for one of these leagues. Are you going to kick them out?
I think it's best to start a new one from scratch so everyone starts out on an even playing field.
As far as deciding who gets in, how about this:
Everyone who is interested in joining this league has their name added to a list of interested owners. Then, the other owners can vote on each member they think should be included. The top 32 vote recipients get into the first league. Everyone else goes on a waiting list, and as owners leave (or are asked to leave), the new owners are voted on by the remaining league members.
I think the current owners probably have a better idea of who the good owners are than you (JDB), simply because they pay more attention to their leagues than you do.
