Decision Regarding Kyoto Conference and Online Contest Guidelines

I hope that you, your family, and your friends are doing well. 

As of Japan Time March 4th, 10:29 am ( US Time March 3rd ) Toastmasters International has approved the option of running contests, DEC, DCM, etc. online.  With the continue situation of the coronavirus and this approval, it was decided to cancel the conference and to hold all important meetings and the district contest online. 

The details are attached and will be posted on the D76 website.

Toastmasters International has also posted guidelines for running contests online. The guidelines are in both English and Japanese are also attached.

As these are just guidelines, not detailed operational instructions. There will probably be many questions. We are putting together another document to assist in future contest operations. We will try to get it out in both English and Japanese to everyone as soon a possible. 

I know that everyone is working hard trying to balance their work, their family, and their Toastmasters activities in this situation. Please take care the best you can and make each day the best you can. 

Best Regards,
