[Chep2021-iac] [EXTERNAL] Re: CHEP2022??

[David Britton]

Dear Amber and Graham,

I fully support moving the planned CHEP to 2022. I think the one issue
from the delay, is the lack of opportunity for publications for some of
the community. There are many people on the computing side, for whom
CHEP and ACAT are basically the only outlets for their work. ACAT2020
has been postponed (currently envisaged for very late in 2021... but
given that there is, as yet, no end in sight to the pandemic, even that
might not crystallize. I'm not sure about CHEPinos... because there are
many other well-established and well-focused forums and we might start
"treading on toes". However, if we do go ahead, then we should think
carefully about how to address the "high-quality publication" issue.

Regard, David.
