  <description><![CDATA[Apologies for the late response. My personal preference is that virtual conferences can be non-encompassing when there are lots of Q&As and all questions are not addressed. At least with face-to-face conferences it provides the opportunity for private discussion. I favour option 3 (late 2022), with the option to defer to 2023 (option 1). Plus, Dublin is worth promoting!
That said, if a virtual conference was to go ahead it would be useful to have a chat room for each session that lasted over the period of the conference and not just for the period of the session.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I have only just seen this as I was able to get away on holiday to Scotland last week. I agree that Option 2 seems the sensible way forward and agree with the suggestions that some innovation in discussion and chat sessions would be useful.

PS I saw lots of wind turbines in Scotland but generally managed to keep a professional detatchment.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Thanks again for all your replies.  Bill nicely sets out why we think a hybrid conference won’t work - the timing requirements are quite different.  On the other hand Lyn makes a good point that there are many people who cannot get funding to attend live.  Option 2 is well ahead in your comments but with a not insignificant number going for opyion3.  As I say, we will think about it and get back to you as soon as we can.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Prefer Option 2 - Remote / Virtual in 2021 + Full Conference in 2023

Interesting reading the comments of others.  I'd support the idea that while a virtual/remote conference may not be as good as a face to face one, it is indeed better than nothing. Some considerations might be:  (1) Sitting for hours glued to a monitor watching presentations can be deadly / or at best sleep inducing.  Consider stretching the virtual conference over a to 6 day period, but only 2 to 3 hours (Max) per day.  It is not like participants would be paying for extra hotel days, and it might allow regular activities to continue along with the conference time.  (2) Set some sort of set of mini-conference "rooms" and specify a theme for each.  Maybe one per day, not all at the same time, as some may have interest in several subjects.  (3) Consider scheduling the 2-3 hours per day with some sort of different alternatives ... eg Monday 7-10 PM GMT, Tuesday 2 - 5 PM GMT, Wednesday 10 AM - 1 PM GMT, etc, so folks in different time zones might all have a fair chance to log in.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I prefer the option 2 (remote conference), even that I will deeply miss the networking. I hope that a good solution can be found in order for people to give questions to the presentations, and some way of communicating in smaller groups as well.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[It seems to me that a virtual conference is preferred by people from industry/consultancy as it is important for them to keep up-to-date, and that research is moving at a slower pace and people from this community prefer to postpone (along with those who value the networking aspect). I would also prefer this latter option but asap i.e. 2022 (option 3).]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I think conferences are about meeting with people. So I think a delay until 2022 for an in-person conference would be best. By then it will be clearer how the World is coping, whether any vaccines have appeared, and how the whole conference world and the way research is communicated has morphed.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[We have discussed internally @ the Poli-Wind Group, Brazil (4 members at Lisbon 2019) and we would rather have the Dublin meeting postponed until 2022. Meanwhile we may access the most relevant updates via periodicals.
Our best wishes of health for all the community.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I'd really appreciate a virtual conference. As someone who works in the public sector, I'm not ashamed to say that conference fees and travel expenses have been prohibitive for me in the past and so I've had to make do with buying proceedings after the event. Whilst I appreciate the remote/virtual experience doesn't lend itself to networking it does allow for knowledge sharing, which surely merits some sort of remote/virtual format. Thanks to the organisers for seeking views.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I would agree with the option 2 in order to ensure to keep the bi-yearly attractivity of the conference and keep a good overview of the last news in the industry. I have attended a couple of virtual events since beginning of the year and, even if obviously we loose the opportunity to meet people in reality, the quality of the content/presentations remain the same. I also agree with Geoff saying that we cannot be sure that a postpone in 2022 will be sufficient.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I prefer option 3, the talk time between presentations is one of the most important values â€‹â€‹of live conferences in my opinion. A virtual WTN day in 2021 could be enough to have contact and keep the flame of knowledge alive, and if it is possible, return in 2022 in Dublin with a fresh Guinness. Good luck my friends and take care of yourself.]]></description>
