Appoint, nominate (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

designate

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">appoint</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that designate is a more specific form of the action appoint)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">nominate</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(thesaurus)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for designate that I've seen before include "Appointed but not yet in post" , "Assign" , "Allocate" , "Appoint" , "Identify" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
