Nominisi

Nominisi is a term used in several languages to denote individuals who have been nominated for a particular position, award, or honor. It is not common in English-language usage, where the word nominees is standard; nominisi appears in some regional or linguistic contexts to refer to those who have received formal nomination but have not yet been selected or appointed.

Usage and contexts: In political and public administration, nominisi enter the process through a nominating body that reviews eligibility, qualifications, and potential conflicts of interest. Shortlisted nominisi may face further scrutiny and, in some systems, parliamentary or public vetting before an appointment is made. In awards and competitions, nominisi are the pool of entrants considered by juries or committees, from which winners are chosen and honorees announced.

Status and process: The exact status of nominisi depends on jurisdiction and the body administering the nomination. Some systems treat nominisi as provisional candidates; others may reserve the designation until formal approval. As a term, nominisi emphasizes the distinction between nomination and final selection, and it can reflect national or organizational conventions that differ from English usage.
