Agree, "DON'T PANIC", and since we are meeting soon, I'm asking for us to start the conversion now! By the way, I phrased it as a question, with an example, not a proposed policy, if that wasn't clear, I'm sorry. On Fri, Mar 6, 2020 at 4:36 PM Reid Fishler <rfishler@he.net> wrote:
I think we need to not panic, but work with our partners (cologix, and remote switch operators) to find out whats best for them. We are a community exchange, and we have to make sure we operate at whats best for the community.

COVID-19 Planning
If/when there is an outbreak of COVID-19 in the Twin Cities or greater region serviced by MICE are there any policies the MICE community wants to implement? For example, a daytime change freeze, especially given the expected increase in the prevalence of remote work or remote teaching as a response to an outbreak.
Cologix: Coronavirus Policy Statement https://cologix.box.com/s/obl0s8todzc7q8ctlnkj4pymyqf2gdni
University of Minnesota: Health Alert: Coronavirus (COVID-19) https://safe-campus.umn.edu/public-health-alerts
Minnesota Department of Health: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/index.html
Also, many of you service K12, other colleges, local or regional government agencies that you may want to reach out to and help coordinate their remote work or remote teaching responses to an outbreak.
For example at the University of Washington in Seattle: Starting Monday, March 9, classes will no longer be meeting in person. For the remainder of the quarter, instructors are asked to conduct classes and/or exams remotely, as possible, until the quarter concludes on March 20.
