   @LauraLangdon @gpshead @webology @ThePSF That’s my understanding too. But I think it’s still inconsistent given the planning is over a year out. Can you really predict the situation that far out when it’s an unprecedented event?

   A better policy there would be “We will listen to science. The current policy is masks required. But if that changes, we guarantee to give 100% refunds to anyone uncomfortable with the final policy.”

     Thanks for all the comments and thoughtfulness. We know many people largely aren't masking anymore and that it can be a social impediment. We have committed for this year to masking, and we won't change that, for the reasons mentioned about not wanting to do a “bait and switch” with the policy for people who make plans to attend based on the policy in place when they registered/paid for travel/submitted their CFP proposals.
