None of the conversation was about COVID protocols.
Lowered in person attendance because of *individual concerns about health risks* was mentioned. The conversation then went sideways into public health policy and definitions, which absolutely doesn't belong on the list.

No, covid protocols are something that every conference that is serious
about inclusion should be *very* concerned with.
Saying that NANOG doesn't care about this says that NANOG can't be
bothered to make an effort to make the conference safe for more folks.
There's a reason I'm not there in person, even though I've attended for
years, spoken there, and volunteered for multiple rounds on committees.
