[Massplanners] Remote Meetings?

[Harry LaCortiglia]

It will be a happy day to know more about a Remote Meeting provision 
extension or a re-write of the Regs.

Am I correct that in March of 2025, unless something changes, things 
will go back to the 2019 rules where only Board Members may participate 
remotely (940 CMR, § 29.10) and the general public must attend in person?

Asking for a friend.  ;)
