That explains that. I'm certainly open to reviving that tradition, along with possibly making other changes to the nomination and voting process to address your other concerns.

Right.

Unfortunately this will be difficult to counteract. As long as the RCs are both the primary source of nominations and the voters, we are at their mercy with regards to their selections.
