Re: [802SEC] Green card cancellations for Vancouver

Dear EC,

I will ask for agenda time to make the following motion at the EC telecon

Motion:   Move that any US green card holder of a nationality affected by recent US President
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.

Moved:  Adrian Stephens
Seconded: Clint Chaplin

I've had various offline discussions:
1. Q: "this is unnecessary".  A:  I beg to differ.   This establishes something we can point to in
our minutes that gives those attending or choosing not to attend March confidence in their actions.

2. Q: "this is too limited".   I'm trying to find a balance between doing nothing and creating a rules
change.   As the matter is fluid I think we should limit the scope of our changes to the upcoming
meeting.


Best Regards,

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.
