Following the nomination process, the selection committee will select no more than five (5) individuals per year from those nominated. All prior nominations who have not been inducted are reconsidered each year with any new nominees.

A voting ballot will be formed with newly nominated persons along with those previously nominated people (unelected) from the previous year. This ballot will be sent to all voting members.
