Dear Eberhard, Thank you for your email. The change requests were meant to be sent to ICANN’s web development team, and not the Council and ccNSO members mailing lists. Apologies for the confusion. Your concerns regarding the validity of the secondment and the validity of the applicable guideline and the option “none of the above” have been noted, have been forwarded to the ccNSO Council and will be recorded in the report on the selection process, which I will submit to Council once the selection process has been completed.
