Re: How are things going with the Hugo Award attempts to deter slates?
Submitting a proposal such that works and people who lose to No Award shall not be considered Finalists would be fine, but it would be new this year (assuming you could get it into the meeting) and wouldn't take effect until after 2018 ratified it.
re: EPH: The design goal of EPH and EPH+ is that no individual should be punished for nominating any thing or things, but no *group* of identical or near-identical ballots should be able to dominate the process. You and your closest 100 friends can get *anything* on the ballot, but you have to either pick one thing or accept that *one of* your picks is making it on, but not necessarily your first choice.
