If we are looking for potential solutions, here is mine: somebody should scan the awards committee's initial nominations and filter out any IA players that were nominated there so that the IA's are not even discussed when we are making our top 5s to send to the GMs.I agree with you entirely. It should not be incumbent on individual committee members to figure out who is eligible, and they should be removed from the pool beforehand. It also seems like a smaller pool of players would also reduce your overall workload, as you'd have fewer players to argue over when deciding nominations.
