Fwd: New Plenary Day Structure for TPAC 2011

Our next F2F meeting will be during the so-called TPAC week in
California.

On the Wednesday of that week is traditionally organized a plenary
session which serves as an opportunity for exchanges between
participants across groups.

This year, that plenary day will use a new format, where most of the
agenda is driven by the participants. To make that new format as
effective as possible, everyone is invited to contribute ideas of topics
for discussion during the day — more details below and at
http://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC2011 .

So if you plan on being at TPAC, please take the time to review this new
format and see if and how you can bring your ideas on the agenda...

> Dear TPAC Attendees,
> 
> It is my pleasure to introduce a new meeting structure for TPAC Plenary Day 2011 [1]. For the first time, TPAC participants will drive nearly all of the agenda and lead the sessions. Below you will find more information about:
> 
>   * Schedule
>   * Agenda Building
> 
> More information may be found in a public wiki, where attendees will also propose sessions for the day:
>   http://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC2011
> 
> On behalf of the TPAC Plenary Program Committee [3], I now invite you to share your thoughts on what you want to present, resolve, during TPAC, whether technical challenges or future technology, cultural barriers or organizational improvements.
> 
> Please do not hesitate to ask questions! This structure is new and we are still working on details. We are also compiling a FAQ [2].  Please consult the wiki for the latest information.
> 
> For the Program Committee: Kazuyuki Ashimura, Ann Bassetti, Tantek Çelik, Marie-Claire Forgue, Jeff Jaffe, Ileana Leuca, and Ted Leung;

> ==================
> Schedule
> 
> The schedule consists of five parts. 
> 
> (1) Cross-group topics (90 minutes in plenary). These are hot topics that affect a large number of groups.
> (2) Agenda building (75 minutes in plenary). During this section of the morning, we will plan the time and location of breakout sessions.
> (3) Breakout sessions (~4 hours for up to 28 breakout sessions).
> (4) Sharing and advocacy (45 minutes in plenary). Leaders of breakout sessions are encourage to share highlights with the broader group.
> (5) Wrap-up (15 minutes)
> 
> The precise timings and more details are available in the wiki:
>    http://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC2011
> 
> ==================
> Agenda Building
> 
> There are two types of sessions: 
> 
> * Plenary - To start the day there will be an overview of recent W3C successes and challenges from Jeff Jaffe followed by two 30-minute discussions on attendee-proposed topics that affect multiple groups.
> 
> * Breakout - there are 4 time slots of 1 hour each and 7 rooms, allowing for up to 28 breakout sessions. Session leads may request that a session span multiple time slots.
> 
> Please use the wiki to suggest your ideas for both types.
> 
> Here are some examples of cross-group plenary topics:
> 
> * Data integration on the Web - microdata, RDFa, microformats, and more
> * Security and privacy in W3C Specifications
> * Cultural teambuilding: applying open-source ideas to specification development
> * Agile Standards Development - Lessons from the CSS Working Group
> * What are the priority APIs?
> * How can W3C promote convergence in installable Web application technologies?
> 
> Here are some examples of breakout sessions:
> 
> * Accessibility in HTML5
> * Increasing Global Participation in W3C
> * What can W3C do to provide more value (e.g., in terms of documentation) to the developer community?
> 
> Because there are only two slots for cross-group plenary topics, the Program Committee will choose two based on attendee-provided feedback in the wiki. Any plenary topic not chosen can be proposed as a breakout session.
