No this is not the way that we operate things. Mentors select the best
proposal out of the valid submitted proposals.
Then Org admins go through the Student Evaluation Matrix and discuss with
the mentors about the final selections.
The entire organization can not be participated and not practical since the
entire org is not aware about the degree of the relationship that the
mentors have with the student and the understanding about the
technical background. So as before the mentors who related with the idea
select the best proposal they want to go. So obviously they can get
together and discuss this on the private comments and come to an agreement,
this is mentors business. But the agreement should be communicated via
the Student Evaluation Matrix for Org Admins.

Student Evaluation Matrix will be mailed to those who completed the Phase
1 application.
