[NSRCA-dist8] Judging Seminar

[Sean Mersh]

Hello everybody,
I don't agree that we should cancel or postpone the judging seminar - but obviously I'm in the minority here - and I get it! I believe that we are overreacting: a gathering of 20 or so people can hardly be classified as a "large crowd" gathering.
I could not possibly attend and seriously participate at a two-day Skype meeting, sorry 😏👎!
Thanks,
Sean

Subject: [NSRCA-dist8] Judging Seminar

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
