The reason is simple. Who would give the FIRST consent to the normination? Nobody! The reason is that before the first norminee gives his consent to be norminated, he must be told who the other norminees will be. But there is no way anyone can say for sure who would be giving their consent to the normination before hand. In addition, no one has committed yet since this candidate is supposed to be the first to give consent!

The same logic goes for other candidates as well. No one can give their consent since no one can predict who would be among the final candidates. Even God does not know that!

The bylaws only works when there is one candidate only. But if there is only one candidate, who needs a normination.
