One of the things that really confuses me is the comment in the OP that even if your nomination doesn't make the short list you can still participate fully. Does this mean that you can still do a write-in of whoever you want in the voting round? That's certainly how I'd prefer to do it but it seems like it would make this first step in the process pretty redundant.
