Should TPAC 2022 be virtual or physical?

Dear MiniApps WG Participants,

How would you feel about attending TPAC *in person* this year? We need 
your input to help us plan TPAC 2022.

The W3C is in the early planning phase for TPAC 2022: After two years of 
virtual meetings, the W3C is trying to organize a hybrid edition. The 
physical meetings would be held in Vancouver from 12 to 16 September 
2022. The W3C is seeking input from the MiniApps Working Group about our 
willingness to attend physically (or if we would prefer to keep meeting 
virtually instead!).

We understand and are respectful that everyone's health risk profile is 
different, and there are significant financial implications to traveling 
that are new because of Covid.

W3C will make a decision in early April whether to hold any portion of 
TPAC 2022 in person. Here are some of the factors we will be monitoring 
up to that date:

* The emergence of new variants.
* Quarantine requirements for people traveling to and from Canada.
* Trends in the 7-day average number of COVID cases.
* Travel restrictions / policies of participants.

Please express your opinion by the 24th of March at 
https://github.com/w3c/miniapp/issues/180 or at the next WG 
Teleconference.

You can email the Chairs and me if you have private concerns that you 
would like us to raise with the W3C.

MiniApps Chairs/Team
