Jordi,

With all due respect, the decision was not “arbitrary.” As has been explained
repeatedly, the cancellation was more of a “side-effect” of Covid19 rather than
a major concern about the health risk of our attendees. This “side-effect” was
explained in the announcement: 

"This decision is based on input we gathered from Working Group (WG) and Research Group (RG) chairs about our ability to hold productive WG and RG sessions at IETF 107.
Our assessment of this feedback is that a majority of sessions would not be viable if we were to hold the in-person IETF meeting. On this basis, we believe we cannot hold an effective in-person meeting.”

Ole
