[EC-NCSG] Voting Rules and NoTA Signicance

[Poncelet Ileleji]

Hello Robin,

I just read your very articulated and outlined email in detail, and this
was why I suggested you write on behalf an official communication to the
appellants based on what you just said.  I belief we can all concur on this
soonest, with a short and simple letter then communicate to the
appellants.  So I suggest again please Robin, can you draft the letter to
the appellants, I hope other colleagues agree with me on this.

Kind Regards

Poncelet
