Hi Pedro,
Apologies for the delayed reply.

You're right — I do receive similar emails quite often, which is why I
wasn’t too concerned. I’ve shared it with Tapani just to keep him informed.

Our NCUC website was unexpectedly down again last week without any clear
reason. This has happened several times over the past few months, and now
part of the site’s design appears to be damaged.

Wisdom and I are currently working on a solution, in collaboration with
Tapani. Hopefully, we’ll have a more stable website with a fresh new look
very soon.

Best,
Amin
