Dear Amber and Graham,<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Regard, David.<br>

The negotiating position is much 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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
