I'm not really concerned about candidates having to bear the
unspeakable shame of being nominated by petition rather than by
committee; my question stems from confusion over the role of the
committee. My recollection is that the last nominating committee did
an enormous amount of work, and I wonder what that means given that
anybody (Biff, for example) can come up with 5 signatures on their own
to get onto the ballot. At this point, having the committee only makes
sense if it is hugely proactive, and even then I have some
reservations about the whole process.
Also, are there members of the nominating committee who are planning
on running for the board themselves?
