A Proposal to Merge NCSG, NCUC and NPOC for More Efficiency in ICANN=?utf-8?Q?=E2=80=99s_?=DNS Work

[David Cake]

Absolutely agree. When I plan for ICANN trips now, I normally presume that at least one day after the meeting will be spent more or less in complete exhaustion, and assume it will be at least  a week until I feel recovered (even for trips without jet lag). 

Extending your travel at your own expense so you can spend some of that recovery time somewhere interesting is a perq. The actual meeting should have parts that are fun, for sure (which doesn’t mean they aren’t useful too). But they should mostly be hard work.

Honestly, over the years during which I've traveled to many ICANN meetings, I have to take vacation when I return home to recover from the extremely long days and constant work that the ICANN meetings require.
