<p>Hi Everyone!</p>
<p> A 2022 NOBUGS meeting (hybrid online/in-person) is being organised for September 19-22nd, and hence the next "bienniel" NIAC meeting is being organised for the week before (also hybrid
<span>online/in-person)</span>. However, there is still enthusiasm to hold an extraordinary virtual NIAC in March, which I had proposed late last year. Note that this meeting would be restricted by the constitution to require 2/3 participation of the NIAC members
(>14) in the discussion of a topic in order to hold a valid vote (plus a 1-week period for further email votes).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The March virtual NIAC will be held in the same format as the <a href="https://www.nexusformat.org/NIAC2020.html" class="OWAAutoLink">
2020 virtual NIAC</a> - a series of 2-hour sessions over 2 consecutive days, followed by a final wrap-up session at UTC 14:00 about a week later. In order to choose the 2 consecutive dates of the main sessions, please note your availability in the following
poll by February 20th:</p>
<p><a href="https://doodle.com/poll/pe5w6n4whvzbdp6h" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk495207" previewremoved="true">https://doodle.com/poll/pe5w6n4whvzbdp6h</a></p>
<p>The final session will be chosen in a separate poll to be held after the announcement of the main dates.</p>
<p></p>
<div>Discussion and votes at the March virtual NIAC will be focused on github issues, so please be sure that issues representing topics you want addressed are clearly worded and have a NIAC label attached.</div>

<div>Cheers,</div>
