You could design a process in which a single email,
containing both the ranking and a short essay, is
sent to some neutral observer(s) not on the SC.
(At least one person has volunteered to serve as
a neutral observer.)  The neutral observer(s) could
then send only the essays to the SC, which could
exercise its judgement upon the essays in ignorance
of the essay writers' votes.
