Kicking the tires on our new process here! Thank you @allisonprice and the OpenInfra team for being such fabulous partners. @sarasafavi and I will review on Monday and proceed from there.

OK, @sarasafavi and I have reviewed this and agree with the assessment, per the v2023-01 standard:

• Masking: robust
• Vaccines: robust
• Tests: no policy
• Ventilation: robust
• Alternatives: robust

I'll take next steps to update our event listing and follow up by email with results. Leaving issue open till that's done.

EDIT: We've spotted an opportunity for improvement on testing and are checking in with the organizers on whether they feel that's an improvement they can make before finalizing results here.

I'm thrilled to report the organizers of OpenInfra Summit Vancouver have taken the opportunity to make further improvements to their Health and Safety policies. They will be recommending all attendees test regularly, providing information about where tests can be procured, and directly provisioning tests to participants who are part of their financial aid program.

With that, we're calling this evaluation wrapped with an updated result, per the v2023-01 standard:

• Masking: robust
• Vaccines: robust
• Tests: efforts made
• Ventilation: robust
• Alternatives: robust

As before, I'll take next steps to update our event listing and follow up by email with results. Leaving issue open till that's done.
