As in-person web standards meetings have been starting again, one thing I've been thinking about is the level of trust around following COVID rules that we're placing in our colleagues. 1/4

I'd trust many colleagues not to come to the office they go to every day if they have COVID symptoms or a positive test... but I've realized that I wouldn't trust many of the same people to do the same at a meeting they've flown across the continent/world to attend. 2/4

I realized this after discussions about different people's views of the COVID rules for meetings that I've been involved in. Thinking about the big difference between those two situations has made me much more pessimistic about in-person standards meetings & conferences. 3/4

I'll be attending @w3c TPAC next week virtually rather than going to Vancouver.
I'm expecting I'll continue attending things virtually for a while, although I'm still hoping the bivalent COVID vaccine boosters will change the situation substantially. 4/4
