Attending W3C GLD Meeting, 29-30 June

Our first face-to-face meeting is now six days away.  We'd like to make
sure the attendance list is correct and make sure group members have the
necessary information.  The meeting is June 29th and 30th, in
Arlington, Virginia. Please reply to this email with your answer.

The venue:  http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/F2F1

In addition to the current members of the Working Group, we have
invited as guests several people who we hope/expect will be joining in
the coming weeks. 

If you'll be attending in person, please let us know as the room's
seating capacity is about 30 people and we want to ensure everyone is
comfortable.  If you'll be attending remotely, please let us know so we
can be sure to reserve the right number of ports.   Call in details will
be on the agenda page.

This is important work and we hope that you will consider sharing your
technical expertise and/or government business use cases to support this
Working Group's Deliverables:

        http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/charter#deliverables
        
Please take a serious look at those deliverables and please pick one or
two items on which you'd be able to give a 10-minute presentation,
helping people understand that topic.   If you can do this, please email
us at team-gld-chairs@w3.org with your proposed topic (2-4 sentences is
fine) & specify which deliverable(s) it maps to no later than Saturday,
June 25th.

If you are a vendor, please keep in mind that a sales pitch is not
appropriate at a standards working group.  However, if you are a
solutions provider who offers a product/project that could be used to
create one (or more) of the deliverables, AND you are willing to provide
that solution to the members of the working group at no charge, you are
welcome to describe the offering, in relation to a specific deliverable.


Important dates:


Please send your topic(s) and a few thoughts to the chairs at
team-gld-chairs@w3.org no later than Saturday 25 June 2011.    

Slides for 10 minute presentations should be made available via a Web
accessible link no later than Monday 27 June 2011.  The links will be
listed on the F2F wiki,
