Agreed.

You mean it's easier to give him a task that he can't possibly
accomplish (let's be real here, it's extremely unlikely that these five
people ever show up) than to tell him upfront that he's not qualified
for the job? I mean, the alternative is even _more_ childish ("I don't
like you, go away").

Well, the NM process has changed since Eray first summited his
application. Now you need an advocate in order to even start the
process. I hope noone in the project takes advocating lightly. If
Eray ever reapplies, his advocate is surely going to think it twice
before signing that message.
And a year is a lot of time. Maybe the NM process turns out a
different result.

You are supposing the DAM is going to make this requirement again.
Maybe he won't. Maybe he will.
My problem with the whole thing is that I really don't see the point of
keeping people in this limbo just for the fun of it.
