Great – totally support this then. And if .ss does apply to join the ccNSO soon then that would remove the argument that we don’t really need the by laws change to be more flexible in our capacity to appoint, without impacting the IFRT.

Best wishes

Hi Nick,

It is my  understanding that if the .ss would become member post appointment this would not impact the selection

Kind regards

Great news Bart!

And a reprieve for .ca 😊

Are we anticipating a request from .ss to join the ccNSO, and if that were to happen what would the impact be?
