Using a Directive to suggest which policy to elevate is valid but less appropriate than having your EDA get its riding behind the idea, gathering support from other EDAs and having regional and provincial members ask their individual FC reps to talk it up.
As we have seen, FC is not equipped to act as a body on all the good ideas members offer. Yes, the Constitution says EDAs (and other Party units) are accountable to FC; but in this example (and too much of the time) it would be better if FC were accountable to EDAs instead.
