[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Call for ICANN61 participants] NCUC Policy Course - Onsite Slots - no funding

[farzaneh badii]

I think granting certificates is a good idea. It does not mean the
attendees are contributing to policy, but it means they are familiar with
the basics of how to write a public comment for NCUC. That means, if you
have the certificate and not contributing to public comments calls, then
the certificate is really meaningless :))))
