I agree with many of the concerns raised by others in this forum.

In particular, the requirement that 'self-nominated' candidates must obtain in nominations 10% of the membership in their region uses a ridiculously high figure.
I would propose to figure of 5% of the nominations cast in a region, with an absolute minimum of 10 nominations.
If (a maximum of) 20 nominees per region is deemed too many, then an upper limit of 10 could be imposed, with the more popular nominees going forward as candidates in the final ballot.

It should be made clear that expressing support for a nominee during the nomination procedure does not limit a member to voting for that nominee should they become a candidate.
The nomination process should not require publication of details of those supporting any particular nominee, as this infringes members'  privacy. A suitable auditting body should be appointed to oversee the fairness of the nomination and election processes.

Any requirements to publish information about self-nominating nominees, regarding possible conflicts of interest or otherwise, should also be applied to nominees considered by NOMCOM.
