Re: [802SEC] Green card cancellations for Vancouver

[Geoff Thompson <thompson@ieee.org>]

All-

Today's claim on the news is that Green Card holders can now travel without any of the new restrictions.

I am not surprised by this change.

We may have instances where members choose not to attend (perhaps on advice of counsel) because of apparent policy uncertainty or implementation uncertainty.

We will need to decide whether or not to provide for that in our motion.

I believe that Clint's wording below includes such provision in its wording.

I support this.

Thank you Clint.

executive orders who believes they will be prevented from re-entering the USA after the March 2017
meeting in Vancouver be given a full refund of registration fees paid on cancellation.

Dear EC,

I have had one email from an 802 member who is Iranian and a green card holder.
He is currently taking legal advice,  but believes he should not travel
to Vancouver because of fear of exclusion from the USA on attempted re-entry.

I will make a motion to allow a full refund for such individuals at the EC telecon.
