However, a doodle poll sent to recent attendees with three options:
Will you travel to IETF108 if the meeting is on? Yes/Maybe/No
might be revealing.
I doubt it very much because the response is not meaningful data.
I disagree that it's not meaningful to assess whether IETF participants
are willing to travel. True, there's some speculation involved, but
it's fairly clear that there won't be herd immunity by July and there's
highly unlikely to be a vaccine by then, and IETF people are smart
enough to make those assessments with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
For that matter, we won't really have reason to believe that it's safe
to travel again until there have been several months without significant
new outbreaks in most places in the world. By now we already know
that that won't be the case by June.
