Jon, Thanks – I will include in the minutes. Few comments – - I can see there are lots of rooms – however I don’t see the capacity per room noted, as well as what will the capacity of the room be when set up for social distancing.
- Without the information in #1, it is hard for me to understand how many meetings can be run simultaneously. This is a very key point. It would seem that if we are taking up 3x the room normally – that this will impact the number of meetings that can be run at the same time- which could mean that groups have to meet less during the plenary week – at which point people might ask is it really worth their time to go for a limited duration meeting.
- Are you planning for F2F EC meetings on Monday morning and Friday afternoon? If so – I would move to eliminate these F2Fmeetings and find a two hour evening meeting time slot for the EC to meet for strategic discussions only – and that all procedural issues should be moved to virtual opening and closing meetings that happen outside of the F2F meeting time. We should prioritize any F2F meeting time to our volunteers to allow them to work. The EC has clearly demonstrated that it can address these issues virtually. I would also argue that this should be the future direction of 802. While today’s COVID dealing world has been something we probably never imagined – it has forced us to deal with an issue – i.e. working virtually – that we seemed to punt for years.
Please take this into your consideration.
