The DLVORG group has just voted, by a significant majority, to suspend
the active planning of the October 2020 DLV event, due to the current
circumstances, until October 1.

During the last part of September, the group will re-evaluate the
situation in Las Vegas and, if it is determined that a meaningful and
safe event is possible, planning will resume on or about October 1.

In the event that it's determined, on or about October 1, that a safe
and meaningful DLV event cannot be held, the October DLV event will be
cancelled.

One of the most important criteria in this evaluation is the strength of
the volunteer force, meaning that we have enough volunteers comfortable
enough to re-commit to coordinating the number of activities necessary
to hold a meaningful event which serves all who wish to attend.

Other criteria used in the decision will include such things as group
size restrictions in Las Vegas, convenient availability of food and
beverage, and the number of activity and entertainment options available
to us.

In the meantime, the planning will commence very shortly, on schedule
for our regular annual spring of 2021 Diva Las Vegas event.

Possible informal alternative event:

In the event that our October 2020 Diva Las Vegas event is cancelled,
there will most likely be, circumstances permitting of course, a small
informal get-together in Las Vegas for those who wish to get together
anyway and are willing to personally assume the risks of doing so.

If this should happen, the details of the informal replacement event
will be posted very conspicuously, as well as the steps necessary to
participate in the replacement event.

This replacement event, should it happen, will not be sponsored by the
DLV organizers and would be an independent effort coordinated by those
participating.
