Hello everybody,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
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: <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">a
gathering of 20 or so people can hardly be classified as a "large crowd" gathering.</span></div>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I could not possibly attend and seriously participate at a two-day Skype meeting, sorry <span id="😏">😏</span><span id="👎">👎!</span></span></div>

<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">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. <br>
</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br>
</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I would like some prompt feedback on the direction we head. My initial thinking is that these are the primary options available to us.</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">1. Proceed with the seminar in Wilsonville as planned.</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">2. Cancel it all together (tough in the face of new sequences)</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">3. Postpone for 30-45 days.</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">4. Proceed with the dates as scheduled but conduct the conference by Skype (or similar).</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br>
</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">With respect to the last option, I've spoken to Gary McClellan and he is willing to do an internet session.</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br>
</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Without belaboring this, please respond asap as to your preferences and we will proceed accordingly.</div>

<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Thanks to all,</div>
