IMPORTANT: TPAC meetings - need info this week!

Dear Colleagues,

We've all been discussing which other groups we'd like to meet with at TPAC,
and now the time has come for APA chairs to make formal requests. APA as a
group has a hard deadline on this during next week, so it's really important
that all TFs let us know what you need THIS WEEK, so that Janina and I have
time to plan APA's requests as a whole, and submit them on behalf of the
group. I'm sorry for the short notice!

Please provide the info requested below via email to group-apa-chairs@w3.org
and NOT via GitHub. Janina and I need to fill in the details in the TPAC
GitHub repo after completing our internal planning with you all. Feel free
to discuss on the relevant mailing lists first, of course.

Please note: this is about working meetings with other W3C groups. A call
for Breakout sessions (Wednesday afternoon, per tradition) that are more
public-oriented, will follow later.

The information we need is as follows. For each separate meeting that you
are requesting:

1. Which other groups - and specifically Task Forces of those groups, if
applicable - do you need to be in this meeting?

2. A brief title/objective for the meeting. We will follow up on agenda
later.

3. Possible session times (please find a list of available sessions later in
this email; they range from 75 minutes to 2 hours). I'm assuming that the
meeting will only need one session, as this has always been the case with
APA's specific meetings with other groups. Please pick possible sessions
that are long enough. If you know you need to meet with another group for
multiple sessions on one topic, and scheduling a separate meeting is not
appropriate, please let us know.

4. If you have other constraints, such as which session times you prefer, or
which other group meetings you need to avoid conflict with, please let us
know too.

5. If you know already if you'll be attending remotely, or in person, you
could let us know, but we understand plans can change.

It should not be necessary at this point, but for reference, you can find a
list of proposed sessions in the following W3C repo on GitHub (and the
README in the root of the repo provides more info):
<https://github.com/w3c/tpac2025-meetings/issues>

Again, please provide the info requested above via email to
group-apa-chairs@w3.org and NOT via GitHub. Janina and I need to fill in the
details in GitHub after completing our internal planning with you all.

have any questions. Please also note that Janina is out all of this week,
and I'm out on Thursday and Friday, but we will get back to you as soon as
we can if you have any questions.

best regards,
