Thanks, Remmy. There is no limit or practice limiting the number of nominations or secondments coming from any single person.

Best,
Robin

Thanks Robin for this update.
Just one quick, is there any convention to number of nomination coming from a particular person/member, if yes, this should also apply to secondment.
