This is explicit in RFC 3777:
"The nominating committee does not select the open positions to be
reviewed; it is instructed as to which positions to review."
It cannot decide not to review a specific position ("We're not reviewing the IAB
this year") nor can it decide to review a different AD set ("We're
going to re-do last
year's slots as well as this years"). So I guess we agree, but it's not really
to the point being made.

Why is the Nomcom report not a mechanism to do this?
