Just a thought...
The first "class" of Net54 HOFers could be broken into six time periods, with a "starting nine" from each era.
6 periods X 9 players = 54
Voting could be very simple in this way. Define the time period (say, Pre-1876) and ask members to cast their vote on a starting nine. After voting has ended for that time period, tally them up.
The pitcher with the most votes gets in. All other pitchers will not get in on that ballot.
Repeat this with catchers. Then repeat with all four individual infield positions.
For simplicity's sake, perhaps the three outfielders with the most votes get in...no differential between left, right and center field.
Have voting rounds take place once each month. After six months, the Net54HOF would consist of 54 players. At that point, start again from the beginning. That would give all of the players from the 1st time period a new chance to make the Net54 HOF.
