+Questions:
+- timezones? changing the format?
+- which scale of conferences?
+ https://blog.sigplan.org/2021/03/09/conferences-after-covid/
+- online conferences being accessible to many new people (but how many of them
+ actually engage?)
+- cost of adapting to the new model?
+- other kinds of impact? not just flying
+ https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.05433
+- how to replicate social aspects? how to bootstrap social discussions?
+- integrating new members of our community
+ https://blog.sigplan.org/2021/03/25/conferences-after-covid-an-early-career-perspective/
+- how to make "hubs" work?
+- conference: spine (scientific program) + people discussing, how crucial is it?
+- "proceedings of the ACM" idea, used at all conferences in SIGPLAN but one
+ (related to open access?)
+- used at all conferences in SIGPLAN but one
+- plans for next year?
+
+
+Polls:
+
+1. Do you agree that EDBT/ICDT should adapt its practices (post-COVID) to mitigate climate change?
+- Yes: 15, No: 0, Not sure: 4
+2. Do you believe that EDBT/ICDT should commit to the IPCC goals: reducing our emissions by at least 50% before 2030 (relative to pre-2020 levels
+- Yes: 10, No: 1, Not sure: 6
+3. Should EDBT/ICDT authors be guaranteed that they do not have to physically travel to the conference? (if they cannot or do not want to)
+- Yes: 11, No: 2, Not sure: 3
+4. Would you personally be ready, in future years, to only physically travel to EDBT/ICDT every other year (and reduce your emissions by 50%)?
+- Yes: 12, No: 2, Not sure: 7
+5. My preferred model for EDBT/ICDT in the (post-COVID) future would be
+- Business as usual: one physical conference every year: 0
+- On-site conference every year but with high-quality remote participation: 15
+- Online conference every year, but with one or many attractive "hubs": 3
+- Alternating between on-site and online: 2
+- Something else: 0
