Fwd: W3C TPAC 2015 - Will your group meet in Sapporo?

Hi, folks–

As mentioned on the Web Annotation WG telcon today, TPAC is in Hokkaido, 
Sapporo, Japan this year, 1–6 November.

The meeting planners need to know which working groups plan to have a 
meeting there.

If you think you might be able to attend, or know you can't, please fill 
in this preliminary poll [1], so we can make an informed decision on 
whether there are enough Web Annotation WG participants to justify 
having a meeting there.


Right now, Ivan and I are both planning to attend anyway, so you would 
have staff contact support. Rob Sanderson has stated that he would be 
able to attend if there are enough participants, so we would also have a 
chair. If we have 5-10 more interested attendees, that would seem a 
clear indicator that we should have a f2f.


Context: The whole point of TPAC is to meet with other people and 
working groups with overlapping interest. So, we have obvious interests 
in meeting with the Social Web WG, for the protocol; by that time, we 
should have fairly advanced Robust Anchoring specs to discuss with the 
WebApps and CSS WGs, so we would benefit from meeting them as well. I 
expect all three of those WGs to meet at TPAC. There may also be other 
groups, like Digital Publish IG or others, which we could coordinate 
with, and companies and projects from Asia that will be better 
represented there than at other W3C meetings not held in Asia.

Dear Group Chairs,
Advisory Board and TAG Members,

As we announced last October [1], TPAC2015 will be held in Sapporo, Japan,
at the Sapporo Convention Center [2]

   http://www.w3.org/2015/11/TPAC/

We ask Group Chairs to start discussions to determine whether and when
your group(s) would like to meet during this week.

Please complete the following questionnaire by 30 April 2015:
   https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/34786/ChairsTPAC2015/?login

   *** NOTE: If you chair more than one group, you will need to appoint
   alternate(s) to complete the questionnaire for the other group(s) to
   avoid overwriting your replies for the first group. ***


Schedule for the week:

   Group Meetings: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 08:00 - 18:00
   Plenary Day: Wednesday 08:30 - 18:00
   AC Sessions: Tuesday and Thursday 15:00 - 18:00

There will be an early-bird registration fee of USD 85 per day to defray a
portion of the meeting costs.

We look forward to another successful meeting.

If you have any questions, please contact <w3t-tpregister@w3.org>.

For the W3C TPAC 2015 Meeting Team;
Coralie Mercier, Acting Head of W3C Marketing & Communications
