[NCSG-PC] Nomcom comments

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Thanks for this, Julf.

I asked to add comments to the reply but the document is closed for
comments. Id maybe just add in an even clearer way that we are not onboard
with this suggestion especially in light of the fact that despite the fact
we have 2 constituencies within our SG, we only have one slot in the Nomcom
as opposed to other parts of the GNSO having two slots.

Best,
B
