IUC 45 remote attendance options required

[Dominik Röttsches]

Dear Unicode Consortium IUC organizers, dear Mike and Carol,

I would like to inquire what measures are taken for international attendees
and speakers to participate in IUC 45 if they are not able to travel to
Santa Clara.

Schengen area (≈ European) residents and residents from a list of other
countries (at least: China, UK, India, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa, Iran)
are still not allowed entry into the US - as per US policy
<https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/covid-19-travel-restrictions-and-exceptions.html>.
This means, conference participants restricted by these travel policies are
unfairly left out if there is no option to contribute to and attend the
conference in some form of hybrid conference way.

Please let me know how you plan to address this in a way that prevents
remote attendees from being at a disadvantage.

Thank you in advance,

Dominik Röttsches
Speaker for Session 10, Vector Color Fonts
