Dear Margherita,

The plan for the CSS area is to have 90 minute teleconference/WebEx sessions for Monday through Thursday of the meetings week (i.e. May 4-7).  Please let me know if you need further details.

Best regards,

Dear All,
I have realised that  I did a typo in my former e-mail: I meant to get your inputs by 22 April - tomorrow - and not on 29 April.
Actually, I am aiming at issuing a  schedule for the virtual ( Technical + CESG) meetings by this Friday, 24 April.

If the deadline on 22 April is now too short notice for you, can you try and let me have your options by 23 April cob ?
This would still allow me to go out with  the a.m. schedule on 24 April.
Thank you, and stay safe,
Margherita

Dear All,
so far I have received only the input from SLS.
We have to establish the plan for the  Spring "virtual" meetings, and then schedule a date for the (also virtual) CESG Meeting.
Please let me have you inputs by 29 April.
Thanks, and take care,
Margherita

________________________________

Dear CESG colleagues,
as you meanwhile know, the Spring Meeting in Huntsville has been cancelled.
Together with the CMC, we are evaluating the possibility to run some sort of "remote" Technical Meetings, in replacement of the Spring Meeting.
In the CESG  teleconf tomorrow, I will spend the first few minutes to outline an approach,  to just trigger some  thinking on your side.

The approach, which  entails some options, is the following:

1)  a virtual Plenary Meeting ( e.g. via Skype or zoom) for all participants looks unrealistic to do ( and it is not strictly needed).

2)  it should be possible to run a light version of the face-to-face Technical Meetings, by letting each Area/WG organise their remote work, with some flexibility.
The following options shall be considered:
2a) the WGs may/will schedule some sessions via Skype (zoom, or the like), during the already foreseen 5 days of the Spring Meeting ( i.e. 4 to 8 May 2020), or
2b)  extended duration:  the WGs may/will schedule some sessions via Skype (zoom, or the like),  during a period of time of, say,  three weeks (say, from 4th to 22 May).

It is acknowledged, that some WGs may decide not to hold any remote session - due to e.g. too different time zones of the participants .
At completion of their activities, the WGs will provide their report  to the AD, as usual.

3) A CESG Meeting via teleconf will be held after completion of the (remote) Technical Meeting, in replacement of the face-to-face CESG Meeting
3a) in case option 2a) is taken, the CESG meeting will be held on 11 May, that is, on the date scheduled for the "real" CESG Meeting of Hunstville.
3b) in case option 2b) is taken, the CESG meeting will be held at the completion of the three-weeks Technical Meetings, that is,  at end of May.
The aim of the CESG Meeting is, as usual, to review the work done and prepare the Reports for the CMC

For your info : the CMC Meeting will be held via teleconf as well, 16 to 18 June.
In that occasion, either the ADs or myself will preset the Area Reports, as usual.

Please glance through the options above, and start talking to your Working Groups.
We will further address all the above tomorrow.
Kind regards,
Margherita
