I mean: there is no formal requirement for any registration on the W3C site; it mostly depends on what Google requires us to do to ensure entrance to the building. I think the main need is our own, rather than Google's: to know who is committed to attend, esp. amongst editors, will help us plan our time and topics. There are two logistics-related reasons to have a registration form. Most importantly, the room books (12 ppl and 8 ppl) are on the small side. If we are going to be over-subscribed I'll have to scrabble around ASAP to negotiate a bigger room, or say no to people if there isn't room. Secondarily, having a list of attendee names means I can pre-register attendees with Google's reception/badge system. That won't be a huge time saver but is probably worth doing. If it is easy to have a W3C form for attendees to confirm plans to attend, that would be great. If not, an attendee list (maybe linking urls for "I'll be there" emails to this list) in the Wiki would probably be equally useful. The biggest hassle is that Google only has two floors in a larger shared building, and the building has its own reception, badge system etc. I hope to have a colleague to help with ferrying people up and down through badged gates and lifts, and will investigate whether having a pre-prepared list of attendees helps anything. Regarding hotels, I've added a fairly generic Trip Advisor link to https://www.w3.org/2013/csvw/wiki/F2F_Agenda_2015-02#Logistics_and_Hotels Dan
