Hi
My 2 cents on this as NCUC member:
Governance work (FC, EC) are in place to give support to policy work
(PC, GNSO Councillors).
The raison d'ĂȘtre for civil society in ICANN is policy making.
In NCUC travel policy the language is that members should be involved
in policy AND/OR governance work to be considered for funding.
So I support an all inclusive approach, which I believe has been
reached and would encourage the FC to thrive in governance and in
policy too.
Best,
Renata
