The IETF Administration LLC recently consulted [1] on its proposed management plan for IETF 114 Philadelphia. Thank you to all of you who commented both directly and on list [2].
Based on the feedback provided, the IETF LLC and the IESG have agreed the following amendments and clarifications to the COVID management plan for IETF 114: 1. We will accept FFP2/N95 masks as proposed and will also accept KN95/KF94/FFP3 masks and locally certified equivalents. 2. We want to reiterate that we will use Meetecho for queue management as we did for IETF 113 and an improved mobile Meetecho client will be ready for IETF 114. 3. Masks must be worn without exception in the specified areas and anyone who is unable to wear one for whatever reason cannot participate onsite. We consider that our provision of remote participation reasonably allows us to implement such a restriction. 4. There will be no change to our definition of 'fully vaccinated'. 5. We will not make any changes to this plan unless required to by local regulation or if the local situation changes dramatically close to the meeting. Thank you again for your feedback.
