A government took a decision. There is also a decision by another
government which restricts travel. You and I discuss could whether
government X or government Y is right or wrong. It is highly
unlikely that it would have any impact on the travel restrictions.
And the second problem is that asking for a decision "now" for
something that will take place in almost 5 months from now, don't
looks to me like smart.
I did not ask the IETF LLC for any decision. There are X months to
do consider the risks. Another alternative is to wait X months and
then operate in crisis mode.
I still think that the decision must be only based in the decisions
of the local host government, of course, unless the full world
prohibits traveling there.
Let's suppose we are already at the end of June and we need to take
a decision. Let's suppose the Covid19 spread has gone lower in
Spain. If US is the only country that prohibits people going to
Spain, we must keep the meeting. US people decided what president
they want, and this is a consequence of that.
It is the same if the situation is reversed and Spain (or any other
country) government, decides to disallow travel to country x.
I suggest reading the policy about IETF meetings.
