I don’t know how you reached this conclusion?

There must have been some co-ordination between nominee and nominator, otherwise how would the nominee have provided their personal details, resume and picture? Given that we now understand that the nominator did not actually submit the nomination, there could not have been that co-ordination. So the nominee must have co-ordinated with someone other than the nominator.

Accordingly, I don’t understand how the nominees could reasonably have believed they were being nominated by the persons listed as the nominator?

I don’t think Paul has cleared up anything and his explanation raises more questions than it clarifies.

The lack of a valid nominator disqualified them - this WG is not disqualifying them.

As above, I don’t see how you reach this conclusion.

The simple answer is in future one should approach people directly and don’t rely on “brokers” to facilitate a nomination. IMO use of a broker in this way is unethical and antithetical to an open and transparent process.
