[NPOC-EC] [NPOC-PC] Plan for capacity building

[Oreoluwa Somolu Lesi]

Hi everyone,

Dave, thanks for laying out your plans for the PC. I think it's great to 
learn about the various ICANN policy issues, like you suggested.

However, I also concur with Remmy that not everyone knows the techniques 
of drafting policy comments, so I think it's important to either start 
with that or alternate the policy issue overviews with how-to sessions 
on aspects of writing and responding to comments.

Kind regards,
Ore
