Subject: W3C: Registration for TPAC2009 is now Open

Dear Advisory Committee Representatives, Chairs, AB, and TAG Members,

Registration [1] for W3C's Technical Plenary/Advisory Committee 
Meetings Week (TPAC2009) is now open. Please review the Schedule for 
Group meetings [2] as a few small changes have been made with some
groups.

We have organized a PayPal page to collect registration fees. The 
early-bird registration fee is $50 USD per person, per day [4]. The 
meeting registration fee will increase as of 21 September 2009.

Registration Tip:
Please answer all of the questions on the Meeting Registration WBS 
[1] and hit submit before going to the PayPal payment page, otherwise 
your registration specifics may not be saved. We also suggest folks 
check the box: Send a copy of these answers to my email address.

As noted below, we advise folks to register for the meeting and make 
hotel arrangements as early as possible (preferably before the summer 
break). This year, it will be important that we have solid 
registration numbers and guest room pickup by September, or we will 
be at risk for losing meeting space and possibly hotel guest rooms.

meeting,
>and making best use of a shorter time period.
