Re: Updated registration

Thanks for these updates, Ted.

I'd made some comments
<https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-maps-workshop-pc/2020Mar/0002.html

on the original form which got lost in the shuffle of changing plans.
Copying over those that are still relevant:

   - The title we're using on the website is "W3C/OGC Joint Workshop on
   Maps for the Web", we should use the same wording here.

   - It currently says “Anybody with a W3C account can answer this form”.
   Is there a way to support answers without an account? If not, we should add
   info about account creation to the CFP.

   - For bio: if we're not going to have explicit fields for name &
   affiliation, there should be a statement that these will be taken from the
   W3C account (in case someone needs to update that info).

   - Might also want to add a checkbox for “Can we publish your name,
   affiliation, and bio on the workshop website?” (The CFP currently says that
   we may do this for people who submit a talk/session, but it helps to be
   explicit.)

   - In addition to the free-form questions about goals of participation,
   it would be helpful to have a set of checkboxes for whether the registrant
   is planning to submit a talk proposal, hack or breakout session proposal,
   or written position statement. (That way, we know who to follow up with!)
   There could be a link back to the CFP web page for information about how to
   make those submissions.


It might also be helpful to ask about preferred times for live/synchronous
events, to get an idea of scheduling requirements.  But I'm not sure how
best to ask it — it's not enough to just ask time zones, some people prefer
later or earlier hours than others in the same zone!  WBS has a “select a
meeting time” question type, but it doesn't seem to have any smarts built
in for translating time zones.
