Dear all, This morning I have been able to confirm an additional room. The room I have found is small (25 persons) and I had to press for getting wire (to secure connections independently of wifi routers with many people connecting) there. So you can accept a very few additional talks that you really find worth, and/or think of joint WG sessions. Hope this eases a little the situation.

I want to apologise for this, it is being extremely complicated but this is no excuse. So, answers: 1) The Russians: the three people from Russian institutions (including one from JINR) will be contacted tomorrow jointly by the IAC and the LPC. We had to wait for CERN council communicate (last Firday at 18.30). The decission is that they can participate and talk as individuals. No mention of their affiliations can be done at any point in the conference. If they do not accept, they cannot participate. 2) Online talks. Yes, it will announced this week that online registration is possible and the conference will result hybrid. Fee will not be small, as rooms have to be paid anyway. We will group the online talks in first sessions in the morning and last ones in the afternoon. 3) Additional room for joint sessions and further talks: it is possible but it is small. So yes, you can organise some joint sessions. 4) Posters: in person only. It makes no sense otherwise. Again, apologies and thank you very much indeed for your hard work.

However, we are currently unable to do so as we are lacking clear decisions/guidance on the side of the DIS organisers, this is leaving us in a quite uncomfortable position and so we therefore have several questions that need to be answered in order to allow us to complete our duties. In particular: - we need a decision/information with respect to speakers from Russian or Belorussian institutes, since we have learned that DESY speakers would be forbidden to participate in case there were any, see here: https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fparticl... <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.co... You certainly have been contacted with respect to that question. - We did not hear back from you with respect to the "joint session" with WG6, is it refused? Would this take one session from each of us? ? For now we have assumed it will not happen but it would make the abstract situation more straightforward. - Most urgently, we would like to understand whether online presentations are accepted or not (ideally without us judging the relevance of their reasons), and whether we should prioritise in person backup talks instead. It appears we would have enough talks that could be given in person to fill the schedule, but some are backups currently. We have a growing list of talks for which speakers may not be able to attend and several which definitely cannot attend, in addition to several backup talks currently accepted as posters that need addressing as soon as possible (several of the authors have requested urgent clarity on this). We understand the issues of covid and other factors have complicated the organisation this year but request that you please help us to solve these issues rapidly and efficiently. Best regards, Klaus, Barak, Tom of WG1
