Hello all! This was posted on the thread about the meetup to decide whether to keep the february dates or reschedule, but I wanted to put them in a separate thread so we can find it more easily.
Context: we circulated a survey and held some meetings to ask about masks and vaccines, whether to reschedule or keep to the original plan.
After a lot of discussion, it was decided to keep the original dates (feb 18th -21st, 2022) and add some requirements to help lower the risks for people who are the most vulnerable and therefore the most concerned about exposure to contagions. Below is the post on the topic from November. Note: originally we had hoped to have an "official RoH" event on friday, saturday and sunday, but have not had people able to organize anything on Friday and Saturday (and the cirque du soleil event is now scheduled for Friday anyway). So Saturday gathering at the RoH suite at The D (hosted by Skaal!) is the only official RoH event that the requirements below apply to as of now anyway.

Based on the results of our meetings and the survey results, it's been decided to go ahead with the scheduled dates!
For the "official" RoH events (so far only a gathering on Saturday- subject to change) masks and proof of COVID vaccines will be required. This is only for the sponsored/organized RoH events. What people want to negotiate with others for personal get togethers is up to you. We decided this would be the best way to have some time that respects the needs of members who are the most concerned about exposure for any reason and feel that masks and vaccinations will help them to feel less at risk so they can enjoy the get together.
