1. As much of the conference as possible should be available remotely — not just so that high risk people like myself can opt out but also so that anyone who believes they have been exposed and make the right choice & self-isolate without being punished by missing the conference
2. Currently there are no at-con policies that would make air travel safe for me so that already precludes anything but local conventions. For those I would want:
- a clear plan on how the concom is assessing current covid risks and what their fallback is if the situation changes. Also a refund option if there’s a discrepancy between our risk thresholds
- a pretty seriously restricted capacity limit both on total attendees and on audience size for individual events
- a transparent & unbiased assessment of the convention centers ventilation to confirm its adequate
- mandatory vaccinations and masking in all indoor areas of the convention center
- testing before arrival & rapid tests available to attendees on site
- a robust digital option with heavy encouragement for anyone who has been exposed to self-isolate
