- Source ID: `lim_tern_poh_owner_confirmed_naio`

## Confirmed Claims

- AI Singapore seconded Lim Tern Poh to support the National AI Office (NAIO) when the office was newly established and needed help from AI Singapore.
- He worked with NAIO one day each week for a year.
- This was a secondment from AI Singapore, not a separate full-time NAIO appointment.

## Evidence Summary

Lim Tern Poh confirmed the arrangement directly while reviewing his profile on 6 September 2026. The [FOSSASIA 2020 biography](https://2020.fossasia.org/event/tracks.html) separately describes his AI Singapore role and secondment to NAIO to provide AI technical expertise.

The owner confirmed the weekly arrangement, duration and early setup context. Exact start and end months were not supplied. The profile retains the existing year-level period of 2019–2020; this note does not independently verify those dates.

## Use Rule

Attribute the weekly arrangement and duration to owner confirmation. Do not attribute these details to the conference biography or describe them as independently verified by NAIO. Use a descriptive secondment label rather than inventing a formal NAIO job title, policy mandate or standards role. Keep omitted short placements and recruitment history out of the public profile and its supporting records.
