Hi  Gabe -

I need to throw a spanner into the works and suggest you can't do it the way you propose.

First, you may want to give yourself a few days between close of challenges and doing the pull.  If there are challenges and they need to be resolved, you need to be able to reschedule *before* ANY of the random sources are resolved without looking like you're putting your thumb on the scale.  If you've already resolved the randomness, it's possible to game things a slight bit by announcing changes of affiliation or withdrawals.

AIRC last year had some issues with respect to affiliation and disqualification that were worrisome.

So instead do in order:  1) Close the challenge period 2) resolve any challenges, 3) THEN announce the *future* randomness sources - in that order.

Second, all but source 1 is sampled PRIOR to the final finalization of the list and that's just wrong.
