[NCSG-PC] Intersessional/no meeting for 2019, but possibility to meet in 2020

[Ayden Férdeline]

The community has suffered cut after cut and we have been directly impacted. We have next to no budget for capacity building this fiscal year, and CROP has become useless, as it can only be used for ICANN-sponsored events and ICANN refuses to provide a list of them. And we are about to throw away $100,000 that actually was allocated to us for an intersessional? This is crazy; we should improve it, make it work. And I definitely think we should be consulting with members to develop our position here.
