Dear AIW Committee Members - 

As the off-site AIW 2023 conference organizing assistant, I have developed some language on safety in Budapest. This tries to address concerns about safety, including by our LGBTQ and otherwise abled members. The text, attached here, should be accompanied by a much more exhaustive assessment of safety for the whole country, by a British travel agency, also attached here. This should give our colleagues a chance to get informed more thoroughly .

If you feel that this language is adequate, I am proposing that it be added to the AIW 2023 conference website. It can also be added to the program, if you feel that is needed - with a link to the country report on the website.

Kindly let us know if you think that this is acceptably addresses issues of safety in Budapest for AIW 2023. 

With personal and collegial greetings -
