Folks have asked about our affinity group write-ins and other community events that had been happening monthly (or more frequently). Like the other programming we've mentioned, this is absolutely coming back. But the speed of their return has a lot to do with certifying and retraining the folks who staff these events under our new community safety standards. These will resume gradually, at the speed that we can take individuals who are running them through the new certification process.
We are also changing how certain events will be run. In the past, staff members were the primary producers of our affinity group events. We have decided to change that structure and are in the process of creating a new role for affinity group event production and affinity space moderation.
Other categories of events (e.g., Camp NaNoWriMo related events, sponsored events, etc.) will remain staff-produced and are expected to resume in March.
