[ncc-services-wg] [ncc-announce] [service] Request for feedback about the new RIPE NCC Access Single Sign-On solution

Hi Harry,

First of all, thank you for the suggestion and also the way you have 
described it. It helps us better understand what you need and the rationale!

I added both items (the account selector and the email under the profile 
name) to our list of requested features. We will assess all them, and 
see what is feasible and how.

In the meantime, it would be good to see who else in the list finds 
these features important, by replying to this thread.

Best regards,
Theodoros
