Since this WG had typically held its F2F meetings co-located with other industry events / conferences, I would like to make an assessment on our collective desire to resume F2F gatherings in more general sense – including, but not limiting these considerations to TPAC only.

I have no idea when it will be safe, so I have to assume “not safe until demonstrated to be safe” and therefore say I am not willing to join a physical meeting at this time. (But who knows! Maybe things will change!)

Right now, our organization policies are “no travel” and this policy is in place indefinitely. I have no idea when it will be lifted.
