Fwd: Deadline 20 June - W3C TPAC 2025 - Group meetings

Dear all,

I'll be filing this after our PEWG meeting next week, but please start 
having a think about which times WON'T work for you at all / clash with 
any other working group meetings you suspect/know will happen at certain 
times.

Thanks,

Patrick

>>
>> During TPAC 2024 we scheduled 14 breakouts in parallel in each of

>> organizing 9 1-hour slots during the week as follows (all times Japan):
>>
>> Monday:
>>     17:00-18:00
>> Tuesday:
>>     08:30-09:30
>> Wednesday:
>>     6 1-hour slots between 08:30 and 18:30
>> Thursday:
>>     17:00-18:00
>>
>> We have chosen this schedule to minimize the disruption to group
>> meetings and to allow for both "morning" and "evening" breakouts (in
>> part to accommodate remote participation from various locations).
>>
>> In addition, we anticipate reserving a few rooms during the Thursday
>> breakout slot for "last-minute" session proposals that arise as a
>> result of TPAC discussion (another suggestion from attendee feedback).
>>
>> We expect to call for breakout session proposals in August.
>>
>> -----------------
>> Additional Wednesday activities
>>
>> On Wednesday we are also planning:
>>
>> * a full-community session immediately following lunch
>> * an evening reception
