     10 Questions:
     11 - timezones? changing the format?
     12 - which scale of conferences?
     13   https://blog.sigplan.org/2021/03/09/conferences-after-covid/ 
     14 - online conferences being accessible to many new people (but how many of them
     15   actually engage?)
     16 - cost of adapting to the new model?
     17 - other kinds of impact? not just flying
     18   https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.05433 
     19 - how to replicate social aspects? how to bootstrap social discussions?
     20 - integrating new members of our community
     21   https://blog.sigplan.org/2021/03/25/conferences-after-covid-an-early-career-perspective/ 
     22 - how to make "hubs" work?
     23 - conference: spine (scientific program) + people discussing, how crucial is it?
     24 - "proceedings of the ACM" idea, used at all conferences in SIGPLAN but one
     25   (related to open access?)
     26 - used at all conferences in SIGPLAN but one
     27 - plans for next year?

     30 Polls:
     31 
     32 1. Do you agree that EDBT/ICDT should adapt its practices (post-COVID) to mitigate climate change?
     33 - Yes: 15, No: 0, Not sure: 4
     34 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
     35 - Yes: 10, No: 1, Not sure: 6
     36 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)
     37 - Yes: 11, No: 2, Not sure: 3
     38 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%)?
     39 - Yes: 12, No: 2, Not sure: 7
     40 5. My preferred model for EDBT/ICDT in the (post-COVID) future would be
     41 - Business as usual: one physical conference every year: 0
     42 - On-site conference every year but with high-quality remote participation: 15
     43 - Online conference every year, but with one or many attractive "hubs": 3
     44 - Alternating between on-site and online: 2
     45 - Something else: 0
