Hi Seun,
Attending ATLAS III sessions would be of value to some and might be of less for others because of the different ICANN background level of the participants.

Until now we have no idea about the capacity building program of ATLAS III. I trust the selected participants does have the responsibility to be committed.  

In all cases, what matters is the dedication and follow-up after the meeting. 

Here I would like to direct the discussion to my earlier email.
Best wishes 
Nadira

Hear hear! I think many of us are frustrated with the "ICANN tourists"
that take funds and travelling slots from hard-working policy people.

SO: Am not sure how the people you refer do that, but I know "hard-working" policy people are tourists as well ;-)

On a much more serious note, I agree with Greg's suggestion that expectations should be communicated to participants, ofcourse level of participation will vary across board, but I think attendance at specific sessions should be minimum requirement for all.
