Reminder and additional information - Re: TPAC 2018 registration now open

Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs, Working Groups and Community Groups who signed up to meet (bcc’ed),

This is to remind you that the early bird rate (EUR 92 - EUR 110 with 
VAT) will expire in 25 days, on 31 July 2018.
Please see registration information below.

We would also like to know if attendees would be interested in having a 
childcare opportunity during TPAC 2018.

If you would like to have one, please send a message to 
w3t-tpregister@w3.org stating the number of children and their age. 
Please note that nothing is confirmed at this point. The goal here is to 
gather the requests and have a clearer vision of the needs.

Best regards,
Alexandra

We hope attendees recognize the value of supporting IEs and will agree to a nominal 5% fee addition to the above rates, however there is the ability to opt out.
