Subject: Call for W3C Breakouts Day 2026 Session Proposals

> Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
> This is a call for breakout session proposals for W3C Breakouts Day 2026. Breakouts Day is a remote event where participants organize discussion among the full W3C community about new or existing Web and W3C topics.
> In response to feedback after last year's event, this year's event will take place on two days to mitigate some time zone challenges:
>
> • 25 March, 13:00-15:00 UTC (two 1-hour slots)
> • 26 March, 21:00-23:00 UTC (two 1-hour slots)
>
> No registration for the event is required. Anyone with a W3C account may participate, including non-Members. W3C Members may invite guests (with W3C accounts) to participate.
