Re: IETF 108 will be an online meeting

[Bob Hinden <[e-mail]>]

Alissa,

Thanks to you and others involved in making this decision.   I think it is the right decision and I support it.

Jordi,

I also wanted to thank you for your work to bring the IETF to Madrid.   I hope we meet there in person when the pandemic is over, I miss seeing you and everyone else in person.

Bob
