Hi Friends,

I disagree - living in a sometimes affected country.

So if this is not a solution - what is one?

Or is excluding some members some time a solution? (For example for 90 
days - I use this number, considering the exclusion of some people with 
valid US visa to travel to the USA at present.)

Yes and no - I agree that policy work is very important. Once there 
would be an agreement how to select or exclude some travel related 
issues (and not discuss it again and again without a clear perspective 
and decision), there would be more time available for policy.
