NAVA 54 - June 13, 2020 Cyberspace

On Saturday June 13, 2020 NAVA held its first Cyberspace meeting, due to he Corona Virus outbreak of 2020.  Since NAVA 54 took place in Cyberspace it also happened on Sunday June 14, due to the overlap of Time Zones.  We had participants across the world participate from from Japan and Ireland.  NAVA 54 was supposed to take place in St. Augustine, Florida.  Although the meeting did not have an official place of designation, it was set to Eastern Standard Time (GMT -4:00).  Since Ansoff is the president and it makes sense to view his locality as the designated geographic space for NAVA 54.  Thus in manner of speaking, NAVA 54 took place in cyberspace, the anchor point for NAVA 54 in space and time was at Annadale, Virginia.

Any meeting in cyberspace can take place in two days of the calendar, so be that someone attending is across the dateline.  Further, if someone is attending a meeting in cyberspace from Kiribati then it is possible that three calendar days expand as the official meeting date.  However it must take place between the hours when today, tomorrow and yesterday appear: 10:00am to 12:00pm GMT.  


As a part of the opening ceremonies, FIAV President Zeljko Heimer of Croatia gave the blessing and opening speech.  He reiterated the values and core ideas of vexillology.
