[J3] Fwd: IMPORTANT: Notice Regarding INCITS Meetings - All Meetings Virtual through December 31, 2021

[Bill Long]

I think Nathan’s arguments make sense, and this is a worthy option to consider. 

Should we also consider this configuration for the WG5 meeting in June??

(i.e. Monday + Wednesday, Monday + Wednesday + Thursday).
