COMMENTS (TO BE COMPLETED BY THE COMMITTEE)

Article 3 of Appendix 7 defined a list of staff as “non-operational staff (without seat)”; the article states thatthose people “cannot benefit from a seated position […] in one of the technical spaces attributed to theCompetitor.” In that sense, those people can exceptionally benefit from a seated position with a laptop in nontechnical spaces.
To separate technical from non-technical spaces, we expect the Competitor to demonstrate commonsense. The garage being an entire technical space, then team villas or teams’ hospitalities can be arranged toseparate technical and non-technical area. For example, if any person is find using an intercom radio or an
operational software, this person will be considered as operational staff wherever its seated position is located.
