2. 2020 IAB Retreat Options

Alissa Cooper sent an email to the IAB noting that, based on the results of the Doodle poll, the best option for maximizing attendance at a joint IAB/IESG retreat would be to hold the retreats 2020-06-02 through 2020-06-05 in Boston, MA, USA as follows:

• 2020-06-02: Full-day IESG retreat
• 2020-06-03: First half-day IESG retreat, second half-day joint IAB/IESG retreat
• 2020-06-04: First half-day joint IAB/IESG retreat, second half-day IAB retreat
• 2020-06-05: Full-day IAB retreat

No objections were raised to this plan. Alissa Cooper will send email to the IAB and IESG confirming the date and location before starting work on the logistics.

Zhenbin Li noted that he does not currently have a visa to enter the USA. Alissa Cooper will follow up regarding letters of invitation for those who will need a visa.

Jiankang Yao noted that while he has a visa to enter the USA, Chinese passport holders may have trouble entering the USA because of concerns over COVID-19 (coronavirus).

Ted Hardie said that he hopes the COVID-19 issue will be resolved before the retreat in June, and that the IAB should handle the visa question first.
