[NSRCA-dist8] Judging Seminar

[J N Hiller]

I was wondering if we might cancel as I'm concerned about hanging around a motel 6 near I-5. I have made reservations but I can cancel them. I'd be more comfortable in Richland but I'm open to doing it on the internet however, I don't know how to do that. Postponement would likely be mid season as the virus spread is just getting started, but I don't follow it very close.

Greetings all. I trust that everyone has seen Karl's note regarding the issues surrounding our gathering together for the seminar. It's a legitimate concern. The corona virus pandemic is impacting all areas of our society and anxiety levels are rising. 

 

I would like some prompt feedback on the direction we head. My initial thinking is that these are the primary options available to us.

1. Proceed with the seminar in Wilsonville as planned.

2. Cancel it all together (tough in the face of new sequences)

3. Postpone for 30-45 days.

4. Proceed with the dates as scheduled but conduct the conference by Skype (or similar).

 

With respect to the last option, I've spoken to Gary McClellan and he is willing to do an internet session.

 

Without belaboring this, please respond asap as to your preferences and we will proceed accordingly.

 

Thanks to all,

 

Art
