May I already put forward a proposal to be considered in this study?

What I find a really bad idea - I think I have already written about that - 
is, that the number of places for self-nominated candidates on the ballot 
list depends from the number of names proposed by the nomination committee.

If you want to set a sign that you really appreciate self-nominated 
candidates and still do not want to do without a nom-com, then you should 
guarantee the self-nominated candidates a certain number of places on the 
final ballot list, no matter how many names the nom-com proposes.

"The nomination committee shall propose not more than four candidates per 
region. For the final ballot list, another four candidates per region are 
added: those who received the biggest number of endorsements by atlarge 
members."

How about something along that line?
