Isn't that always going to result in an unrepresentative committee?
It looks even more like blackballing than the SPI method. A majority
could prevent any minority representatives being elected if they wish,
which leads to having only poodles from minorities. Yuck.
Should team size be determined in advance? I think so.
There is the oft-mentioned optimal team size of about seven
active members. http://www.qsm.com/process_01.html

How many more than seven would we need, to expect seven to be active?
