Set it allow those without W3C accounts as was my intent but apparently
missed the box.

Attendees and their affiliations are part of the public proceedings. 

Often we have those with complicated affiliations for workshop, eg
employed by so and so but representing 'university research group,
trade association, etc.' easier handled by free form. This is basically
their application to attend.

How about this clarification:

<p>Those who are presenters may have portions of their bios published
on the agenda page. We appreciate the bio and background from all
interested in attending as we may reach out for prospective presenters
and for selecting invitees from candidate applications. All attendees'
names and their affiliations will be part of the public record.</p>

Feel free to suggest alternate text.

We publish attendees' names and affiliations as part of meeting
proceedings except under extreme situations which will be handled on
case basis.

Done, with input fields where appropriate.

WBS interface is a bit limited for this. We can have preferred list of
times in GMT which will confuse some with respect to their local times.
We can use something like Doodle and survey times separately.
