I may be optimistic, but I believe that in Europe, provided that the vaccination will not have unexpected failures, would have reduced the impact of the virus in Europe, and that moderate travel will be allowed by early December, when the IGF will take place.

This will be also the last IGF in Europe for a while, therefore a unique opportunity for EURALO to participate to a meeting of this type, with a positive impact on presenting EURALO - and the AtLarge community - to a wider audience. If we have a focus on outreach, this option will be far better, IMHO, than ICANN Den Haag in June 2022.

The question is whether *any* of our ALSes are going to be prevented 
from travelling to Poland, including the one in Guadeloupe and the ones 
outside the EC, such as  Russia.and UK, for example. Are the borders 
going to be open by then?
