Hi Amber,
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>I’m glad to see that my opinion aligns with those expressed on this thread. I really do not think that we can get >400 international participants to Norfolk next year. It’s great that you were
able to negotiate a way to postpone it to 2022 and we should support your good work on this.<br>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Regarding CHEPinos, I think we should work with HSF/WLCG/OSG to organize regardless of branding. Also don’t forget that all are invited to participate in the Snowmass process which will be in full
swing by that time next year. Just as with the EU Strategy, the US process also welcomes international participation. I know that one of your goals was to bring closer collaboration with NP, does that community have a similar strategy process? It is easier
to blur boundaries with virtual meetings, so in my view we should get that + from next years meetings to balance out all of the negatives of not meeting in person.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers, Liz<br>

<div dir="ltr"> Dear all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I also support Pete, James and others about moving CHEP in Norfolk in 2022. This seems to me the most sensible decision given the uncertainties and given the fact that as I understand there is good chance that this will work financially. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">For 2021, I think our community will benefit from a conference in Computing for High Energy Physics in the timescale of May. That would be an online conference in my opinion, like it happened for other big conferences line ICHEP this year. The
point is that particularly younger people in early stages of their career (but not only) will have an opportunity to present their work, have the proceedings published in a journal, etc .. It will also offer the possibility to set a natural deadline for some
of the work being done. The risk is that otherwise many of the fellows or first year postdoc will finish their first working experience without any of that, that is not good in my opinion. It is not obviously as ideal as an in-person CHEP because of the networking
aspects Pete highlighted, but it is the best we can probably do. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As may others, happy to discuss this further in the next IAC. </div>

Dear Amber, all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Let me add my voice to supporting the move to 2022 (as indicated in the poll). It seems to me to be the pragmatic decision in the circumstances.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">On the CHEP-inos, I would also like to suggest that any such meetings are arranged jointly with HSF/WLCG, and therefore I’d like to encourage a discussion with Graeme and Simone on this topic before any concrete plans are made.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Finally, many thanks to Amber and her JLAB colleagues for dealing with this decision in such a practical way. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Best wishes,</div>

stronger now than in May. The City of Norfolk and the hotels are making a recommendation to the hotels’ corporate offices of moving the conference without penalty to either Spring or Fall of 2022 if we can sign a contract that commits to an event in Norfolk
in 2022 at the original number of attendees.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
