CVO
- The CVO is planning to host the Northern Fall IVOA InterOp. The plan had been for this meeting be 'hybrid' with in-person and remote participation. During discussion with the host hotel we determined that CVO would be exposed to about a $100k liability if the meeting needed to move to 'on-line' only. We are not able to accept this liabilty. Three options are presented:
- The Fall 2022 meeting be planned as on-line only.
- The IVOExec members agree to share this liabilty and we have some complex cost sharing arrangement.
- We move the Fall interop to a different location that is more able to mitigate the risk and liability
- CVO preference is to move to Online Only, I don't really think option 2 is viable. I'm happy to accept Option 3 but not sure its practicle.
- In January 2022 the CADC/MAST/ESAC will be having a 'show and tell' meeting to review our various projects related to providing a JupyterLab based Science Platform for JWST users. One of the side-conversation will centre around extensiosn to CAOM-2 that were needed for JWST use. CADC will plan a CAOM BoF at ADASS 2022
