I don't have an answer ready but IMO S2 (or Q) is not more magical then 5 or 13 or 42. I guess at the end the size of the committee should: * depend on its goals and tasks * allow the group to work as a _group_ (The other question is of course what happens if there are not enough candidates/winners. Maybe an (equally arbitrary) minimum size for a second round could be defined?) I hope that these technicalities can be better worked out if the issued for the ctte are a little clearer.
