=> With all due respect to those people, I think it's a shame
they feel like that. It seems like the selection decision is perceived
as a personal judgement by those people. Good people may not
get selected for a million reasons. I hate making blanket judgements
but this kind of attitude is probably not a healthy attitude for
an AD-to-be.
But there is another issue. When someone asks their employer for
agreement to be a candidate, the employer may worry about the PR
impact. Imagine:
"Flarion employee passed over for prestigious IETF job; major
competitor chosen instead"
So the candidate's personal attitude may not come into it at all.
