Re: IETF in July

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <jordi.palet=40consulintel.es@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The situation in Spain will be worst next week because the government, as I just explained in the previous email, didn’t taken the right decisions on-time, so they delayed the situation and increased the spread.

 

Other countries should have learned the lesson and avoid repeating the Italian and Spanish mistakes NOW.

 

Looking at other countries I can see that at least Germany and France will be next, surpassing the figures from Spain. They have reacted too late … but US, Switzerland, UK, and many other countries in EU, seems to not have taken the same measurements yet. They are right now in time. Any additional days delaying this decision count.

 

Regards,

Jordi

From CNBC earlier today:

 

Spain official warns 80% of people in Madrid will get coronavirus, as nationwide death toll surpasses 1,000

 

Yes, we should start planning now

Ron,

Might I suggest we get through the next week first? :-)

I’ll wait to see the hotel announcement like everyone else, which I presume won’t be sent until travel normalizes, since many international borders are closed.

 

I strongly suggest that for purposes of planning WG work, everyone assume there won't be an in person IETF for the rest of the year unless we hear otherwise.

 

It is highly unlikely that travel bans will be lifted in a sufficient number of countries to make any IETF viable in July and Madrid is reportedly a hot spot. If the secretariat announces registrations are open then we can rethink. Spain just reported 104 deaths in 24 hours.. The chance that Madrid is going to be in a state to receive visitors in 17 weeks is really small.

 

So don't blow off the virtual meetings assuming there will be a 'proper' IETF in July. Not unless you are ok with work being delayed for up to a year.
