I agree- and this is a great example of places where human judgement is 
better than rules.

For instance - one of the projects had a nominee but it missed the 
deadline, so that's probably an easy on.

For one of the projects it had been looking dead for a while, so this is 
the final nail in the coffin from my POV

For the other three - I know they're still active projects with people 
interested in them, so sorting them out will be fun!
