Order is up to whomever is running the club. That oder would allow people to see what is moving out which may affect what they might like to see before nominating new categories and voting them in.
Ok, I will add it, but I am wondering if we really need a nomination period? Nomination periods are a lot more work than just voting on a pre-defined list. After we vote some items out, could we just use this list or this list and remove the items we are keeping? Anyone could lobby for their preferred options in the vote threads, which would be sequential so it wouldn't be a mystery as to what is staying and what is going.

I guess I am saying that if we want to keep the nomination period in there I wouldn't want to run that option if it is selected. I have no problems with it if someone else will volunteer to run it.
