<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Based on your responses, it appears that many will be unable to travel at this time for our Fall meeting. The executive committee (Mary, Ramu, Greg*, Sanjay) discussed the situation and concluded that it is
best to postpone the regular meeting to April 2021. Hopefully, the travel situation will have improved by then.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In the interim, we are proposing a virtual discussion session (60 to 90 minutes) on Friday, October 30<sup>th</sup>. Please feel free to make suggestion for the format and content of this virtual session
either to this list or to one of the committee members.</span></p>
