It is shown that the closure of the domain and the closure of the range of a maximal monotone set of type NI are convex sets. This is a positive answer to the question concerning the convexity of the closure of the range of a maximal monotone multifunction, posed in Simons (Minimax and Monotonicity, Lecture Notes in Mathematics 1693. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1998, X Open Problems, Problem 27.7).
