Ben-
I agree with you. To that end, I believe the current state of things is not relevant. The current Executive Order, the execution thereof and the correlation or lack thereof won't have a lot to do with an appropriate discussion in March. My assumption is that the situation will change (in ways yet to be determined) and stabilize between now and then.
Therefore, I believe it is too soon to gather the source material to be effective for a discussion in March.
Best regards,
Geoff
Would someone post a link to the source material (the executive order) being discussed? I feel strongly that venue decisions should be made on facts, not political reactions, and would like to study the facts prior
to the discussion and/or contributing an opinion. Thanks Ben

Colleagues-
I suggest that we add an agenda item to the EC phone call next week.
Subject:
Motion to have an EC open discussion session in a Monday tutorial time slot
on the subject of appropriate meeting venues given possible forthcoming restrictions on travel

I agree and support the suggestion of a tutorial slot. The participants will be interested in an airing of various approaches and the implications.

I think we do need to discuss this. The suggestion of a March tutorial slot is good (though it doesn't leave time to change May meetings if that was even possible).
The stay by the judge was only for part of the executive order.. What was blocked was deporting the people who are at airports now (with visas, green cards, etc.) The stay doesn't require letting them into the country, so they may be in limbo
held at the airport until it is worked out.
As far as I've heard, there hasn't been any stay on the part about not issuing visas.
