Hi Radim and Renata,
I met with the team leaders at 10:30 today, and a few things came up that would benefit from your help.
1. Personal information form: Please let the team leaders know if someone from their team hasn’t yet provided you the personal information form. They will help you chase them down.
2. Steering committee mailing list: Please add Samuele, Santosh and Fethi to the list; the respective team leaders rely on them for organizational help.
3. Personal liability insurance: many participants are unfamiliar with this. Would it be possible to post a link to one or two possible suggestions? E.g. links to a couple of companies that offer such insurance, and perhaps to specific policies whose coverage will meet the minimum coverage requirement.
4. Lodging costs for companions/spouses: Please clarify on the Google Doc whether those who plan to have a companion or spouse visit for a portion of JSALT must pay only for only the days of the visit, for full weeks in which they visit (i.e. minimum stay is 1 week), or their entire stay of 6 or 8 weeks. Some participants think it can only be the full 6-8 weeks, which feels high for much shorter visits.
If these questions/request don’t make sense to you, please let me know and I’ll provide more context. Call me on WhatsApp +1-443-858-9052.
Cheers.
Sanjeev

@Karen, if you see this message in time, please join us. One of the points I want to discuss are people planning their flights to Brno — we need everyone to be responsive to your emails.
