First and foremost, group chairs should make room for people to acknowledge new challenges. Everyone is coping with the crisis differently and with different work, living or family conditions. It's important in those times to give individuals time and space and to ensure that their care and safety come first.

We recommend that all groups that consider holding physical face-to-face meetings take into account the needs of all group participants, by seeking for **everyone to interact on an equal basis with other participants in remote locations**. Group Chairs should not have or set the expectation that group participants will travel. This includes complementing in-person meetings with virtual accommodations, rather than simply canceling in-person meetings, to the extent that these are respectful of the individual needs.

Workshops are often key gathering spots for consideration of new ideas, with a mix of prepared presentation, pre-determined or self-organizing breakout sessions, and the all-important "hallway track" opportunity for side conversations. Organizers are encouraged to replicate this mix in virtual meetings. Some proposals include:
