If the complainant wishes to withdraw the complaint prior to the board's commencement of its investigation, withdrawal shall be allowed, except in cases where the board, by two-thirds majority vote of its membership, determines the issues to be of such importance as to warrant ordering the investigation in its own right and in the interest of the public welfare.
