There are a few simple reasons for this:
1. It probably will devolve into a popularity contest (for either being a tribunal member and for mob lynches)
2. Alternatively, the tribunal members just become extra mods.
3. Furthermore, to provide effective moderation from the tribunal, they'll need access to data which is currently only accessed by Moderators and Admins. This includes submitted content like telegrams, but also email addresses, etc. mods are under stringent rules regarding these (see http://www.nationstates.net/page=privacy ). So in effect, we (mods) either have to cross-check everything and ensure that the tribunal also follows the privacy rules. Which is what we also do with each other, but now also with a whole new bunch of people.
Which in effect makes them mods (both access to the 'back office', ability to rule on cases and compliance with our privacy and TOS, yeah, that's a mod).
I, for one, would not like my private data being read by the most popular user on the site (you know who you are)
I suggest to read the linked privacy page, especially the part 'submitted content' .
