[Conference-europe] Conference Europe committee membership

[Tõnis Kärdi]

Hey Berit, I think these are good suggestions.

I think we can organize them like this that they would go into the 
Additional information for the proposal [1] as these are things to be 
kept in mind and worked for.

One thing though, that I'd like to have a further discussion on is 
"openness to dogs" or any sort of pet animal presence in the venue.

I understand that there are people who are very fond of dogs (and cats, 
rats, snakes, pigs, birds, and so on). But at the same time we need to 
be mindful of the people present at the venue (incl social events) who 
are not comfortable (or have specific medical conditions) around animals.

It is totally ok to be either I think :) Maybe "openness to pets" could 
be included in the additional information as something like:

"If there are any pet hotels or daily care service providers available 
in the area, please try to list them or ways to contact them (e.g a 
local Matrix/FB/TG/etc group) on the conference website."

Would that be ok?

all the best,
t;
