Moreover I would be willing to pay for the difference if flights prices are substantially different at the dates of my choosing compared to standard arrival and departure dates.

It proved to be a great experience to meet people I work with and understand the policy development workflow better, as well as the human dynamics, which are not always visible on calls.

As this PDP is planned to take a substantial amount of volunteer-hours once it starts, I do not plan to engage in any other pdp while I remain on the NCSG EC.

While this is not direct policy development, I still see it as a crucial part of maybe the most crucial policy being currently developed. Such a plan could thus be used in support of the large amount of meeting hours that will be devoted to the EPDP in Montreal.

I have found great value in discussing those things in person - it helps build trust among the NCSG leadership and hopefully empower those in leadership positions to take the right decision when they must be taken.
