Mike, I will disagree. The proposal is to require an explanation. The letter you got was not an explanation, it was a clear exercise of the nominating committees option not to explain themselves if they choose not to.
If they were required to provide an explanation to candidates, I do not believe this letter would meet that requirement. If you have any ideas on wording to create a more effective requirement that clarifies that fact, I would love to know what you might propose.
