I just hope there won't be too many of us on Friday morning. 00:53:56 Jim White - Los Angeles - he/him: I'm also in that late arrivals group and would appreciate extended registration hours 00:54:03 Miranda Hassett: When we're all traveling on one day there are limited flight options, especially if flying from a smaller airport! 00:54:08 Roy Tripp: AMEN>. I don’t arrive in BWI until 2200. 00:54:21 Anne Davidson: There is time on the early morning of the 8th. 00:54:22 Scott Moore-Europe (he/him): One can register the next morning. 00:54:29 Scott Moore-Europe (he/him): 7-9 I believe. 00:54:41 Miranda Hassett: Yes. Just wondering about how many of us will need that option, since the registration instructions suggest a concern about crowding. 00:54:45 Troy Mendez: many of us from the Western US don't arrive BWI until after registration closes 00:54:50 Megan Carlson: Also, is there greater flexibility in scheduling, for those of us driving, Baltimore traffic could complicate the time of arrival 00:55:00 Whitney Evans: Also scheduled to touch down BWI ~20:30 00:55:08 Jim Trimble (he/him): Greetings from Winchester, KY in the Diocese of Lexington 00:55:16 Timothy Skimina: A later registration time will be greatly appreciated due to a later arrival. 00:55:27 Charlotte Wells (she/her): keep in mind, please, that many of us will experience flight cancellations and rebookings as we make our way across the country 00:55:57 Roy Tripp: “Time to spare?

C 01:04:41 Dr. Adam Hamilton-Ferguson (Dio CNY) (He/him): It's on the COVID Care plan 01:04:59 Rebecca Tankersley: Link to the COVID Care plan, please? 01:05:00 Edward Richards: Will we have the text number for Dr. Coldren when we get to Baltimore? 01:05:14 Dr. Adam Hamilton-Ferguson (Dio CNY) (He/him): https://houseofdeputies.org/2022/06/24/covid-19-care-at-the-80th-general-convention/ 01:05:15 Rebecca Tankersley: Or just share it here so we can put into contacts. 01:05:27 Jim White - Los Angeles - he/him: His number is in the first couple of lines of the plan 01:05:40 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): COVID Care plan is here: https://houseofdeputies.org/2022/06/24/covid-19-care-at-the-80th-general-convention/ 01:05:41 Jim Naughton: If you test positive, please text Dr. Rodney Coldren at 724-603-0232 01:05:49 Katy Dickinson: If you test positive, please text Dr. Rodney Coldren at 724-603-0232.

Thanks 01:08:48 Connie Campbell-Pearson MT: What is the expected dress? 01:09:30 Jim White - Los Angeles - he/him: Casual, comfortable 01:09:41 Jim Naughton: From Prez Jennings opening remarks: Besides compassion and a mask, what should you wear at General Convention? Comfortable clothes and comfortable shoes. It is an immutable rule of General Convention that everyone sits in a draft except the people who are always hot, so pack a sweater, jacket or wrap, despite the fact that it will be very hot and humid outside. Convention centers have hard concrete floors, and your feet will know it after the first day. Comfortable shoes are a must. As for style: Wear a collar, or don’t wear a collar. Wear distracting clothes, or wear beige. Pockets. I like pockets, but you can make that choice yourself. 01:10:10 Kevin Matthews (he/him): I'm packing a thermometer this time! 01:10:23 Margaret Porter: At a routine medical appt yesterday, I described the COVID protocols and support/care plans to her, and she was truly impressed by the effort to keep us safe and well. (for which we are all grateful). She was also glad I told her about my attendance at GC, because she is willing and able to manage my care if necessary from NH (via the practice's system's telehealth and by phone.) So it might be useful to be in touch with your own medical professionals before traveling to Baltimore. 01:11:07 John Michael Sophos: Multiple pairs of comfortable shoes. Best not to wear the same shoes each day, The CC floors are brutal. 01:11:24 Rosalie Ballentine: Will there be assistance if someone has to change airline reservations because of Covid quarantine? 01:11:43 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): contact@houseofdeputies.org 01:11:47 Lee Crawford VT (she/her): Sitting all that time also can be brutal, so if you need a cushion and can bring one, it might help. 01:11:51 Ed Thompson: Large gatherings like this are opportunities for child trafficking! Can we get tips on how to spot and report it? 01:12:19 Adele Ichilian: Rain expected almost every day in Baltimore. Pack a poncho or umbrella. 01:12:26 Ed Thompson: And sex trafficking as well. 01:12:28 Daniel Vélez-Rivera: Are volunteers still needed? Here in VA heard from two deacons wondering whether there is still need and who to contact to ask. 01:12:53 Dr. Adam Hamilton-Ferguson (Dio CNY) (He/him): Ed- Perhaps Dr. Coldren will be able to address it (trafficking as a matter of public health) 01:13:20 Whitney Evans: Will we be issued iPads like last time? 01:13:33 Anne Davidson: yes 01:14:16 Ed Thompson: Would someone please put it on his radar, please. 01:14:19 Leslie Scoopmire: If ya need a guitarist, just let me know! LOL 01:14:30 Betsy Wiesmore: will the services also be on ZOOM 01:14:57 Kathleen Moore (she/her): Both the HoD and HoB services will be available to watch on the Media Hub 01:15:28 Jane Cisluycis (she/her): Be prepared to tip hotel staff well and daily. 01:16:02 Kathleen Moore (she/her): Media Hub link: https://media.episcopalchurch.org/video/ 01:16:03 Sarah Lawton - California: Episcopal Network for Economic Justice will have tip envelopes available 01:16:31 Sarah Lawton - California: Minimum suggested tip is $10/day (each day) but it would be wonderful to tip more given all the changes and lost income to hotel workers 01:16:53 Sarah Lawton - California: I will be tipping $20/day for that reason 01:17:24 Jamie McMahon: Just FYI, many hotels have not been doing daily housekeeping visits to rooms during the pandemic. 01:17:58 Sarah Lawton - California: We can ask for daily housekeeping even if the hotels offer not to. UNITE HERE, the hotel workers union, is strongly urging us to do so 01:19:03 Jack Tull: Tipping $20./day 01:19:09 Peter Quelly: what about ADA related support persons? 01:19:33 Diane FitzGibbon: So glad to see you Gay, thanks for doing this! 01:19:41 Kate Harrigan: I guess that makes us the HOD POD 01:20:18 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): Peter, people who have requested ADA assistance have received accommodation to have support on the floor of the house. 01:20:32 Cindy Smith: Are sign toppers allowed this time? If so, when can the convention floor be accessed for setup? 01:20:59 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): Here's the seating chart, Cindy. Decorate away! https://houseofdeputies.org/2022/06/24/80th-general-convention-house-of-deputies-seating-chart/ 01:21:12 Diane Pollard: Gay, Thanks so much for this orientation and for all of this good information! 01:21:27 Virginia Tyler Smith: Will there be water bottle filling stations? 01:21:29 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): Signs are The panels are 7.25” wide x 42” high. 01:21:45 Ruth Elder: Yes, volunteers are still needed. See the diocese of Maryland website 01:22:00 Lauren Stanley: There will be water bottle filling stations throughout the Convention center. 01:22:16 Sarah Lawton - California: More on the UNITE HERE (hotel workers) wish that we request daily housekeeping here: https://unitehere.org/wp-content/uploads/Playing-Dirty-Report-FINAL.pdf 01:22:55 Hannah Wilder (she/her) Clergy, San Diego: Is there any limit to how large our sign toppers can be? 01:23:30 Jim White - Los Angeles - he/him: Try not to block the view of the people behind you to see the platform and the screens 01:24:47 Jack Tull: Where is the Election Information posted? Virtual Binder? 01:25:11 Miranda Hassett: Would someone be willing to represent the many of us who have shared this concern here, by contacting the GC office about whether it's possible to extent registration on Thursday evening? 01:25:22 Miranda Hassett: & let them know that it sounds like many of us are affected? 01:25:22 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): https://monse.baltimorecity.gov/human-trafficking-collaborative 01:25:23 Jim White - Los Angeles - he/him: Election Information (vbinder): https://www.vbinder.net/elections?house=HD&lang=en 01:25:44 Jennifer Knowles: I would love a late registration as well Thank you 01:26:35 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): Hello, all. General Convention registration is handled by the General Convention Office, not in the House of Deputies. Please email gcoffice@episcopalchurch.org to let them know that you need alternative registration arrangements. 01:27:47 1 Emily Mellott: I wonder if multiple emails to the General Convention office would help demonstrate the widespread urgency of the need better than a single representative message? 01:29:13 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): Emily, yes--thank you. Please let the General Convention Office know if you need late registration. That will help them gauge the need: gcoffice@episcopalchurch.org. 01:29:22 Charlotte Meyer: Consider photographing your vaccination card so it will be in your phone and available if needed. 01:31:46 Jane Schmoetzer: Many state Depts of Health also have a place on their websites that will give you a virtual card to keep on your phone. 01:32:16 Jim White - Los Angeles - he/him: I've already emailed gcsupport pleading for extended registration hours 01:32:17 Nathan Brown: There's a great MARC train from the airport that runs pretty frequently 01:32:17 John Michael Sophos: Since there are so many that need later check-in times, would it be advisable that someone who is in the leadership of the orientations contact GC support with the concerns raised here, Might carry more weight, 01:32:19 Adele Ichilian: Lite Rail will go to convention center 01:32:24 Jim White - Los Angeles - he/him: suggest everyone else do it, too 01:32:30 Charlotte Meyer: Consider light rail from BWI to Baltimore rail station 01:32:39 Helen Spence: Most hotels have shuttles from the airport to the hotel. 01:32:47 Lauren Stanley: There are seven ways to get from BWI to the Inner Harbor, plus Uber, Lyft, taxis. 01:32:53 Betty Bowersox, DioMO: There is a light rail system from the airport to the convention center, I believe. 01:33:20 Jack Tull: We always had a travel agent and could reserve shuttle rides 01:33:21 OBSERVER PRISCILLA TALBOT: perhaps the individual hotels might provide shuttles from the airports 01:33:26 Scott Haight, Lay, West Tennessee: Everyone is asked to schedule your registration time at this link to avoid overcrowding: https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001lLCYCOD_oZlWrpdsjewUE_BZilHDYitUGk0XRT57FyxDzJKNfshp8ZHNPfyhEOWTGQLvcJbCuZ54SsqOhyU0zTTSeXcwvNMurMyUzAxgkHlRARVbHcx5lLs0dMyMgFfcFU50C7hwy1bcaUO_ha2b3vpq8AfQeQa6kvHEA9nLr-DCmXL3HdYkmSPwNVJyv_w5hfV2lUf0Bqg=&c=amilMG_XqsvdvRWPwggBgJ09J7mOU54Jc0rqYOEu2YiGsUVk4YSi3Q==&ch=iziAFZqLr0f1DsejPdgGQkf-bJBaNwvYvPIxYk7LR_inDqGgIvJxhA== 01:33:52 Scott Slater (he/him): There's a great Light Rail that goes from the end of the airport terminal right to the Convention Center. Inexpensive and takes about 30 minutes. For more local tips on navigating Baltimore, go to the Diocese of Maryland host site: www.gceighty.org. 01:34:10 Lewis Powell: The Light rail system was down for repairs 2 months ago. Are they back up and running from the airport? 01:34:12 Amy Haynie: There is a light rail from BWI to the convention cneter area (Pratt Street) that I have been told is $1.90 (or $.90 for seniors) 01:34:32 Anne Kyle: Those of us arriving early will do well to register for one of the earlier registration times. 01:34:39 ProfWillisHAMoore,DioHI-L5: I attended the DOC meeting in Baltimore in May: Few taxis at BWI, UBER has ruined taxi drivers' business in Baltimore. See if light rail is running yet to Penn Station, or to Ballpark which is next to Convention Center. 01:35:31 Lauren Stanley: Parking is very tight in the Inner Harbor. 01:35:38 Miranda Hassett: I recommend Korean KF94 style masks for people who find N95s dont' fit their face well. Comparable standard of filtration if you get a real one. We order from BeHealthy. 01:35:41 Dawn Conley: FYI . Uber and Lyft from the airport can be higher than the taxi rates. I discovered this at two recent conferences! 01:35:46 Scott Slater (he/him): Parking is on your own. The Convention Center has no parking. 01:36:04 Debra Low-Skinner: Is it safe to walk from Marriott Inner Harbor to Convention Center? 01:36:33 Dion Crider: Uber is showing $29 for airport to convention center as of this afternoon 01:36:36 ProfWillisHAMoore,DioHI-L5: Marriott is across the street from the CC. 01:36:43 Lisa Brown: Spot Hero is a great way to pre-reserve parking in an unfamiliar city. Just be careful if reserving multiday parking to note whether or not it allows in and out access 01:37:32 Sue Bolen she/her: what about walking from Days Inn at Inner Harbor ? 01:37:38 Susan Cooper: will a copy of the chat made available to us. 01:37:54 Kathleen Moore (she/her): We will post a copy of the chat with the video of this meeting 01:38:06 Tammy Pallot: Click the three dots by where you type and you can save it yourself. 01:38:13 Whitney Evans: After hearing Dr. Condren's message, it might be good to indicate where is safe to walk. For those of us avoiding gyms to get our steps in, walking during hours not taken up by gc must be done outside 01:38:20 Amy Haynie: You can save the chat yourself by using the three dots just above where you type 01:38:41 Anne Kyle: SpotHero was only $1.09 per day cheaper than the hotel fee. I contacted our hotel (Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor) to get details. No parking reservation is needed for those staying at that hotel. 01:39:31 Philip Dinwiddie: FYI, one Deputy's notes of today's orientation can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L4hihe8uTszXhUbkcTAT7fND_1ojCGJx72NfKyljA_g/edit?usp=sharing 01:40:00 Eliot Moss, C4 WMass he/him: When can we expect the report from the Prayer Book committee? 01:40:36 Evangeline Warren: as a recommendation, bring a waterbottle with a straw that you can tuck under your mask 01:40:37 Luke Krueger: The CDC has been homing in on monkey pox. Is this something that is on our radar and are there any mitigation we need to take? 01:40:37 Paul Ambos: The Diocese of New Jersey was required to remove its beach-ball stanchion decoration on grounds that it blocked the Chair's view of one of the floor microphones. 01:40:56 Troy Mendez: We are grateful for the level of care that has been demonstrated! 01:40:58 Leslie Scoopmire: Are there still shirt days and purple stole days, etc? 01:41:05 Fr Hal - ND: Any need for BCPs? 01:41:15 S.Slater/Md: May I give a verbal plug for Maryland Night? 01:41:24 Leslie Scoopmire: I have barking dogs so dare not ask in person unless y'all want to hear chaos unleashed. 01:41:46 Marian Fortner: Sophie is awesome! 01:41:54 Kathleen Moore (she/her): They are the best. 01:41:54 Helene de Boissiere-Swanson: Thank you everyone from Katrina’s Dream. Ahhh-mazing work. Helene. 01:42:01 RJ Powell: Sophie is a wonderworker! 01:42:02 Cameron Partridge (he/him): Sophie rocks! 01:42:16 Dep. Jon Rania he/him/his: Yes she does Cameron! 01:42:24 Joan Kline: I have a question President Jennings 01:42:31 Dep. Jon Rania he/him/his: Agreed RJ!!!!! 01:43:01 Susan Russell [she/her]: Sophie Shout Out! 01:43:19 Laura Russell: Yes! Sophie is fabulous! 01:43:23 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): Joan, can you put your Zoom hand up? 01:44:15 Byron Rushing, VPHOD: Please check with gcoffice@episcopalchurch.org about Light Rail from the airport—it was under extensive repair in May. 01:45:04 Annie Etheredge: I’m joining late... were can I watch the recording? 01:45:13 Annie Etheredge: where* 01:45:19 Anne Kyle: When flying you may take an empty water bottle or coffee cup and then fill it after you have passed through security. 01:45:37 Kevin Matthews (he/him): In general, the Convention Center & Hotels are in a high traffic shopping area. Camden Yards is right next door. 01:45:50 H Mark Smith: How far would it take to walk from the train station to the convention center? 01:46:31 Dep. Jon Rania he/him/his: I would avoid the Inner Harbor Area after dark unless you are in a crowd. The buddy system will work best. 01:46:32 Tammy Pallot: Will someone please post in the chat where Dr. Coldren said was unsafe? 01:46:40 Sarah Lawton - California: It's a burden on hotel workers to clean at the end of a long stay -- and workers rely on daily tips 01:46:53 Alan Murray: I agree, Sarah. 01:46:55 Laura Russell: The housekeeping staff is losing a lot of money because of the shortening of convention. Please consider them when choosing. Choosing to allow housekeeping to come in will give them tips. 01:46:58 Sarah Lawton - California: The hotel workers are also relying on daily cleaning for jobs! 01:47:06 Anne Kyle: When reducing housekeeping services used, it is a kindness to increase your tip on the days you do use services and on the final day. 01:47:06 Jennifer Knowles: Is it advised that we do not use the gym? 01:47:11 Dcn. Marlene Hogue *she/her DioEauClaire (WI): Do every other night, then leave the commensurate tip! 01:47:17 Susan Adams: Takng the lid off your empty water bottle helps prevent being stopped hand checking of screened carry on bags. 01:47:24 ProfWillisHAMoore,DioHI-L5: At BWI, if you take free shuttle to rail station, there may be taxis there....expect $50 far to your hotel. OR, you may take MARC to Penn Station, then taxi fare to hotel is more like $15-20. 01:47:26 Lee Crawford VT (she/her): https://unitehere.org/wp-content/uploads/Playing-Dirty-Report-FINAL.pdf 01:47:41 Sarah Lawton - California: Episcopal Network for Economic Justice recommends you request daily cleaning and daily tips. (It may not be the same cleaner each day, so the daily tips are important) 01:48:05 Laura Russell: Also, one large tip does not guarantee that all will be compensated. Please consider this. Housekeeping relies on this money to survive. 01:48:18 Anne Kyle: Thank you, Sarah Lawton! 01:48:34 Lauren Stanley: I've been carrying empty water bottles and coffee go-cups through security at airports from the first day they announced the limits. It truly is not a problem. Refill water bottles after security. 01:48:37 ProfWillisHAMoore,DioHI-L5: The suggestion for daily cleaning is GREAT. I just returned from a week in Tampa at their CC, with 1500 people involved; we had daily cleaning. 01:48:39 Dcn. Marlene Hogue *she/her DioEauClaire (WI): It's a delicate balance between Creation Care and Economic Justice. 01:49:06 Alan Murray: You can request housekeeping without washing your sheets and towels. 01:49:18 Sarah Lawton - California: Laura Russell (Newark) and I (California) will have tip envelopes from Episcopal Network for Economic Justice to hand out -- we'll try to distribute them safely through the House 01:49:26 Suzanne Wolfenbarger: How far is the convention center from Marriott Inner Harbor 01:49:40 Alan Murray: 5 minutes walk 01:50:07 Dcn. Marlene Hogue *she/her DioEauClaire (WI): Thanks for the envelopes! 01:50:25 Riise Richards: How far is the Convention Center from the Radisson Baltimore Harbor? Is it a long walk? 01:50:41 Debra Low-Skinner: Maybe 5 minute walk for Alan Murray, but longer for those of us who have arthritis or heart issues. 01:50:46 Cynthia Benkelman: They normally do not change/wash sheets daily and you can hang up your towels if you do not want them washed. But getting service ensures they have work hours, and tipping super important. 01:51:13 Eliot Moss, C4 WMass he/him: What is an appropriate daily housekeeping tip? 01:51:16 Rebecca Wilson (she/her): Maryland site for convention: https://gceighty.org/ 01:51:51 Sarah Lawton - California: Eliot, ENEJ normally recognizes $10, but given the shortened convention, $20 would be great 01:51:55 Laura Russell: I would suggest a tip of $10 to $20 a day. Housekeeping has suffer tremendously during Covid 01:51:55 Betsy Biega: How far is conv. center from Hyatt Regency? 01:51:57 Sarah Lawton - California: *recommends 01:53:00 Lauren Stanley: For everyone: This is the link to the map of the Inner Harbor.
