Antonio, these are two different things.

The WG does not concern itself with what’s in this contract or how the RFP was conducted. That’s operational/implementation detail. If the service provided by the contract or RFP went wrong in some way or if someone complains, that falls within the WG’s remit. We don’t need to have knowledge of the content of that contract (or the RFP) to raise questions whenever a problem arises. ie The WG could formulate a list of questions for the NCC management/board and ask them to look into the matter and report back.

I hope this clarifies matters.
