To: Officers of IAHR Member Associations/Societies and Affiliates,

Dear Colleagues,

Due to COVID-19, both the 2020 World Congress and the business meetings (International Committee meeting and General Assembly) have been cancelled.

However, considering the prolonged effects of the pandemic and increased ecological concerns, it may be timely to ask you a few questions about online gatherings. We, the IAHR Executive Committee, would appreciate your observations and opinions.
