[Avodah] zayin tuvei ha'ir

[Rich, Joel]

Part of my topic for shavuot is zayin tuvei ha'ir.  The issue of who
picks them, how they are picked and what are their qualifications is of
interest.  The Rambam in sh"ut 271 suggests they must be talmidei
chachamim, anshei torah and maasim tovim.
 
Would the chevrah see any problem with me suggesting that this is
correlated with  (although I couldn't prove this is the reason) with the
Rambam's generally perceived "elitist" (is there a better word?)
approach or is ascribing such an approach to the Rambam
inappropriate?(e.g. it's not elitist it's amita shel torah)
