One thing that becomes obvious while serving in the IETF leadership is that no-win situations are unavoidable. If you try to make decisions based on objective criteria and take your time to gather data, you get criticized. If you try to make decisions based on anecdotal evidence or take what seems to be the path of least resistance, you get criticized. If you follow the advice of one group of participants, you get criticized by a different group that disagrees. It can seem like an endless, thankless torrent of messages telling you that no matter what you do, it’s wrong and it isn’t good enough. So I’d like to say thank you to everyone on the IESG, Colin, Jay, Greg, the team at AMS, and the WG and RG chairs for all they’ve done thus far to help manage the IETF 107 meeting planning in light of COVID-19. Your work is appreciated. Alissa
