This thread is about a short list. And who should make that short list, seems pretty obvious to me. They simply can't pool the minds of 40k people without turning us all into borg or something....
Or close to the borg, at least.

I suspect that the NT managers might be able to find people who that they feel have a good grasp on the GE based on the discussions that they have had with the "candidate". I don't mean people who just scout, obviously, but those who have demonstrated an understanding of the important facets of the engine. By having the choices be vetted by the "experts" we're not handing the keys over to some Joe Schmoe on the forums, but we're also actually ensuring that any questions about how changes might effect lower levels might actually include some folks who actually have, you know, been there in the past ten seasons or so.
