                My recommendation (to ensure that the self nomination process works without over crowding the ballot) is the following:

1. Allow anyone who gets nominations from 5% of the at large members in that region on the ballot.
2. Allow the top two self-nominated candidates in region on the ballot, as long as each has at least 10 nominations.
3. Allow all the members to participate in each regional election. The by-laws specify that these representatives are supposed to represent the ENTIRE membership. You ensure geographic diversity by requiring that these representatives have diverse residences. But to achieve representation you MUST make the representatives from each region subject to the votes of the entire membership.
