[Board] Conference cancellation?

[Chris Sharp]

I'm not part of either of the conference committees involved, but I don't
see a way we can responsibly move forward on the conference.  I say this
with deep concern for all the stakeholders and great personal
disappointment.  I have a feeling we will probably see further travel
restrictions between now and then and even if we go forward, a large
contingency of our attendees would either opt-out of going or be forced not
to go.  I have grave concerns about the financial impact of this on the
project, so I'm very interested to learn more details.
