Outbreak: I know it's late, but should we be thinking of postponing Costume-Con?

Remember, Costume-Con does not belong to the ICG. It is just most often ICG Chapter-associated groups that organize it. It's up to the CC38 convention organizers to decide.

And personally, since all my airfare is non-refundable and Air Canada's change-fee waiver only applies to tickets bought after march 4, I will likely be having a lovely trip to Montreal whether or not CC happens.

There would be problems with postponing: there's a contact with the hotel that has to be paid, and chances are this was the only time they could book it. Choosing a date can be very complicated keeping in mind holidays, other big conventions, & when a hotel is available.We should just be mindful of washing hands, and not attend if you think you've been exposed to the virus.

Sorry. I knew Costume-Con wasn't something WE could postpone, but I meant we might have to plan for what to do  -- like having the ICG board meeting become a conference call -- in the event that the convention doesn't convene...

Since I can’t make it either way, I really was hoping there be a remote option.

If necessary I have access to a paid Zoom account via SFSFC.
