Remote hubs for IETF 98: Zurich

[IETF Chair <[e-mail]>]

This is a follow-up about Google’s offer to host hubs for the IETF
98 participants who cannot travel to Chicago because of
the recent U.S. travel ban.

Thank you Ted and Warren, and Google!

Please see the details below; they are planning to host a hub
in Zurich, Switzerland, for the duration of the meeting. If you
are interested in joining IETF-98 via this hub, you need
to register as described below.
