[Cesg-all] IETF Reviews Travel Restrictions

[Weiss, Howard]

FYI - from an IETF email where travel restrictions to the US are mentioned which also affect CCSDS.

Locations and Global Travel Challenges

More generally, as the realities of global travel continue to change, the IAOC is endeavouring to monitor the situations that will impact all of our participants. We meet this week in the United States, a country that has changed its visa and visitor requirements significantly in recent weeks. Prior to the meeting, we received input from people who would be unable to attend the meeting in Chicago. We are interested in hearing whether or what unusual or additional challenges people faced as they crossed the border to come to the Chicago meeting.  Stay tuned for a message in the near future outlining what we're looking for in particular, and where to share the information.  Thanks, in advance, for your thoughtful input.

We have more meetings booked in the US in the upcoming years, and are reassessing these. We continue to monitor the situation for people traveling to this country (as we do for travel to other IETF meeting host countries), and will make updates as and when necessary. We are also conscious, however, that travel requirements may make it difficult for US residents to travel to a non-US IETF meeting with a reasonable expectation of a smooth return home. They may be only able to attend US meetings. Accordingly, we will have to weigh the relative impacts on the community when making a decision.
