I think they might want to spread nominations over the year. In this case, it could be like this:
Oct -> July 2016, Nov -> Aug 2016, Dec -> Sep 2016, Jan -> Oct 2016, Feb -> Nov 2016, March/Apr -> Dec 2016
Oct -> July 2016, Nov -> Aug 2016, Dec -> Sep 2016, Jan -> Oct 2016, Feb -> Nov 2016, March/Apr -> Dec 2016
