If potential contributors do not comes from Amazon, then the Amazonian PMC can nominate them :) If the potential contributors does comes from Amazon, then it is not a bad thing to interact with bigger part of the community. I can expect that as more non-Amazonian contributors get nonimated, this would make the process more healthy.
