I raised the issue on -discuss because I felt that it was disappointing that
such a dramatic change in process, midstream, would occur a) without prior
notice and b) with weak justification. As I understand it, the justification
to take this action was based on the volume of candidates and the resulting
time that it would take for each to present themselves in Dearborn. I
suggest that there were other steps that could have been taken to mitigate
time requirements without cutting any "eligible" candidates.

I would add that the BoT could consider reversing this action and instead
address the time issue since that was the only issue raised supporting this
turn of events.
