Jens, Couple of points,
Last time I ran the poll, communications with participants presented some challanges. Before I gave Henri the names of the new moderators I tried to communicate with all the leading candidates. I sent 5 members personal messages both at their e-mail address & using the board chat facilty. Some didn't respond to my messages for over a week, while others responded within minutes. In fact, one of my messages was answered over a month later.
I wonder if a nominations process would result in a list much different from the last poll when I choose the top 25 active posters? When I look at the names of the top 25 posters, I know that I would personally nominate any one of them who is missing from the nomination roll. I suspect many members feel the same.
A possible suggestion: To limit the time the process will take we might limit candidates to the top 25 active posters who don't ask specifically to be taken off the list.
