This would considerably narrow the pool of available candidates since only a
general member may nominate (both current and proposed rules). I, for example,
would not be able to nominate myself. Some may disagree, but I believe I
provided almost 14 years of solid service and good contributions to the AC, so
I think it would be hard to argue that I was not a good candidate.

Personally, I think that the nominating committee should have the following
responsibilities:
1. Recruite candidates
2. Remove clearly unqualified candidates — This shouldn’t be a
judgment call,
if in doubt, let the voters sort it out.
3. Provide a detailed explanation to each rejected candidate.
(privately)
4. Winnow the slate(s) to not more than 3xN where N is the number
of open
positions to be elected.

Currently the minimum is N+1 where N is the number of open slots, so for
example, a vote for 2 race for board (normal annual board) would yield a
minimum of 3 whereas a normal AC election (without resignations) would require
6 (5 slots to fill each year).
I’m not opposed to N*2, but I’m also mostly OK with the N+1 minimum currently
present.
