Michael, Your decision but as a factual matter, it has a more severe negative impact on Balisage and its attendees than the current regime in Washington. Taking a stand, at least for me, has always involved going in harm's way, not remotely shaming it. Hope you are at the start of a great week!

But I don't think this is the right time to be applying for a visa, and I don't think it's appropriate to sponsor a conference held in a country that will exclude people from attending on grounds of race or religion. Sorry, but I think one has to make a stand. > > Perhaps you can move back to Montreal in 2018? > > Michael Kay > Saxonica > _______________________________________________________________________ > > XML-DEV is a publicly archived, unmoderated list hosted by OASIS > to support XML implementation and development.
