As a member (albeit not one that has very good standing here, but I digress) I would suggest against bringing some brand new face in as a moderator. It would be far better for someone to come in and be a part of the community for a bit as opposed to coming in straight to moderator role. IMO, they would, in a sense, earn their respect instead of just requesting it be handed to them.
Just my $0.02.
