Dear Research Colleagues -

    I am writing once again to request your input concerning the
upcoming  International Finance and Macroeconomics program meeting,
which is scheduled for Friday, October 29, 2021.  Early in the summer,
we planned for a hybrid meeting, with an in-person meeting in Cambridge
as well as a virtual option for those who could not or chose not to
travel.  As we continue to navigate the pandemic, it has become
increasingly difficult to know how many researchers would participate in
person.  Cambridge recently re-instated an indoor mask requirement,
which I know affects the nature of in-person gatherings.

     To provide guidance for the NBER conference team as well as the
meeting organizers, I would be very grateful if you would respond to the
following short survey that asks whether you are most likely to attend
the meeting in person or virtually.  It also asks if you need to travel
to attend in person.

Thank you very much for your input and all best wishes for the new
semester.
