<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Has ARIN disclosed anything about why the NomCom chose to exclude two obviously-qualified candidates from the ballot when they didn’t yet have 2 candidates per open seat, and
the 3 candidates they did include are all less well-known to the community than both the ones they excluded?<br>
<br>
I can hypothesize some possible reasons, but none of them would reflect well on the NomCom, so I am reluctant to do so without learning their stated reason(s).
