And in what they are calling the least surprising update of all time, there will be an additional public comment launching tomorrow from the office of the Ombuds. I don’t have full details, but it’s looking like there are proposed updates to the ombuds position
 and process. Due 10 February, could be of interest to the NCSG.<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature">
