I’m getting the categories thread together now. It may be a bit as it’s in between work and I need to write the new guidelines out for it, but it will be soon.
[ETA -
The categories thread is now up!]

That's understandable. The problem with polls, such a small club and often very close votes is that a fly-by voter can change the results. It’s been rare enough but some regulars have been worried about this off and on through the years so it'd be good if we could find a better way and maybe this will help and still be fair and equal to all. This would also give us a bit more leeway in how we want to vote. This may not be as elegant as a poll but the advantages could outweigh that. I’m sceptical myself until we try it but once we do maybe people will think it’s simple enough and similar to the old nominations process.
In a way I feel like the priorities may have simply reversed. Originally, with the size the general club was in the first years, they needed a more detailed nomination process (the supporting votes) so that not just any book someone suggested would be up for the vote. Now with our club and the smaller size, we don’t need to worry much about that but, with our close votes, a bit more detailed voting process may be good.
