#[jgmac1106]GWG come 3/1 I am officially done with Covid (well personally been done for long time but socially and civically done 3/1) back to live events for me
#GWG[jgmac1106]: I can understand that. Just I think society has to adapt slightly. For example...I have learned that I like space.
#GWG[jgmac1106]: When you want to start discussing a NYC event details wise if you think you have a venue, happy to brainstorm. Dusseldorf was the only recent IWC and it was limited.

#[tantek][jgmac1106] I appreciate the energy to organize an IWC! Before putting a date in stone, perhaps add the city you’re thinking of in /Planning near the top of the 2022 list and put out a call for co-organizers.
#[tantek]In particular, even if you find a venue, find a co-organizer or two before figuring out dates. Our experience is that solo-organized IWCs tend not to work well and leave a lot of details unhandled, and that was before Covid
#[tantek]And speaking of, on your /Planning page entry, please document the current and expected changes in the covid/masking protocols for that city so interested folks can take that into consideration
#[schmarty]I expect I'll volunteer to help co-organize but I will echo and amplify tantek's call to _take it easy_.
