I just can't see this working. If I were to put my name in and did 
not win a position, perhaps I may submit my name for a later round 
(although based on the comments I have seen related to the NomCom, 
the typical response is to simply walk away).
Under our current rules, there is a vail of confidentiality, and the 
names of those who applied but did not win are not announced.
Back to not being selected for a definite position, at that point, my 
guess is that they will accept the loss and go on to other things. It 
is quite unclear that most candidates will warrant that they will 
stay on call, waiting to be called in from the sidelines for a 
position of unknown duration that they may or may not be interested 
in, and they may or may not have the technical knowledge to carry out.
