[arin-ppml] Nomcom rejection explanatory letter

[Scott Leibrand]

This is very disappointing. Under the process to date, it was the
NomCom's prerogative not to provide an explanation. But this
non-explanation makes a mockery of the entire concept of an explanation. It
literally says nothing about why the candidate was not selected. It simply
restates the NomCom's charter and their decision.

If this is the kind of obfuscatory behavior we're going to get out of
requiring explanations under the current process, then that process needs
to be changed more radically than I thought.
