Mask exemption

[richterdavid]

For the robust mask policy, there should be an exemption for those who have a medical inability to mask.

Thank you! We've already got a carve out for "appropriate exemptions" from vaccines, so this seems like a fitting extension of that. This one raises a somewhat tricky question though:

How might an event organizer, their volunteers, and participants enforce a mask mandate when it's not necessarily the case that someone not wearing a mask is in violation of the policy?

We don't need to solve this problem, but I'd like to explore it a bit so I've got something to offer organizers who are trying to reconcile these things. Also will be key in drafting my long overdue Organizer Guide 😅

Perhaps those granted an exemption should wear some sort of "masking exempt" badge? That still has problems, but it keeps them from being pestered by event "security" to mask up.
