Greetings, Please register for the upcoming face-to-face meeting, October 3rd through 5th in Amsterdam, via this questionnaire: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/49311/tpwgf2fams2012/ The questionnaire is open until September 21st. We are still putting together an agenda. We do expect to be able to end the day a little early on Friday, likely by 3 pm, which may enable Europeans or those on the US East Coast to catch return flights. For prior face-to-face meetings, we allowed all interested members of the public as observers for our f2f meetings as space allowed. This time we are going to sharply reduce observers for the Amsterdam meeting. As we have seen, it can be difficult to keep discussion focused and make decisions with too large a group. We are happy to allow observers to follow the meeting remotely via phone and IRC and will provide the same public minutes and recorded decisions as we have in the past (keep in mind that we will be on Central European Time.) If you have any questions about remote participation or accessibility issues, please contact Nick. We will still welcome a few guests from relevant regulatory bodies and from our hosts. If the chairs believe an observer will be particularly helpful for the group in performing its work, we can extend an invitation on a case-by-case basis, but we expect to do so rarely, if at all. As always, those interested in attending as observers should confirm with the chairs before making plans to attend. (For those who have reached out already, expect a response soon.) Finally, we will try to have some group dinners during our stay in Amsterdam. Let us know (in the registration form, your current best guess is fine) which evenings you'd be available to join a dinner with others in the group. Pending confirmation, we may have dinner on a canal boat one evening. We look forward to a busy month, and a productive meeting in Amsterdam. Thanks, Aleecia and Matthias
