The workshop idea is in investigation phase currently, and there's no decision on it. The same applies for the DAS WG F2F outside TPAC.

I chaired the W3C's WebVR workshop half a year ago, and can say there's a non-trivial amount of work to be done to pull such a workshop off. But it pays off handsomely if you do it properly. We need a group of enthusiastic and committed volunteers to help make it a reality.

Related, I took an action [1] to investigate whether Intel could host such a combined DAS WG F2F meeting and "privacy & security" workshop in Europe, and found out we might be able to host a 3 day event at our London office in Canary Wharf. The caveat is, due to space limitations the maximum number of participants would be around 25.

Would someone else lurking on this list who'd have a bigger space be interested in hosting in Europe?

Thanks,
