Just speaking as a member of the group, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I have no particular objection to qualifying books and maybe it would get uploaded once nominated, which would be a good thing. On the other, at least to an extent this category is meant to showcase our library and it's also good to think that for this one month, the books are everywhere accessible* and free.
So all of that said, I personally see no reason not to go by our usual practice of letting people nominate what they will on the assumption that it will shake out in the nominating/voting process. But if Tom sees this and wants to issue a ruling, that would be good, too!
*Some books in the PCML may not be in the US public domain.
