Ah good. Throw out?  Nice choice of wording there, possibly even a Freudian
slip based on all the "maybe all of the MAG will be retained as before in
our new submission" clarifications from previous emails (or like the below).

Why have a nomcomm at all, then?  Have the current MAG members, as well as
any others that wish to stand, stand for election. There aren't that many
people on the list, and balloting should be fairly easy to arrange.  With
one person one vote based on some criterion like "has been on the list for
so long" .

Forget nominations, bring the process right out into the open.
