While NotA is not explicitly mentioned in the charter, it has been
discussed in the past and an explicit NotA choice has been felt
to be useful. I'm only following precedent here.

How so? You can select any number of candidates, up to three.

Arguably NotA is redundant in that the practical effect is
the same as not selecting any candidates, but in the past
it has been considered better to have it as an explicit choice.
