[Moims-dai] Meeting in The Hague - in-person or by video

[Robert Downs]

Hi David and all,

Reflecting on the CCSDS Meeting in Huntsville earlier this year, when some
of us joined virtually, I found the DAI meeting productive. Considering
that  communities have learned to have effective hybrid and virtual
meetings and that some sponsors have increased requirements for travel,
especially international travel, I agree that it makes sense to try to plan
for more hybrid and virtual meetings in the future.

Thanks,

Bob
