Register for next F2F after May 13th Berlin: Sept 20th at TPAC Lisbon

We can discuss this more after our F2F later this week, but just so
everyone got the invite, we are on for Tuesday Sept 20th:

--


Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
WG/IG Chairs, Advisory Board, TAG, Community Groups members who signed
up to meet,


Registration for TPAC is now open:

  TPAC 2016
  19-23 September 2016
  Centro de Congressos de Lisboa
  Lisbon, Portugal
  https://www.w3.org/2016/09/TPAC/


 We invite all TPAC participants to:

 1) Register (see below).
 2) Make your hotel reservation via the hotel booking link:
    http://www.delegatehotels.com/e/w3c2016

W3C has arranged discount room rates from 17 (check-in) until 24
September 2016 (check-out) with three different hotels.
We strongly recommend to make hotel reservations before the Summer
starts (June, early July) as September is a very busy period in Lisbon.
For booking tips and more information about hotels, see:
  https://www.w3.org/2016/09/TPAC/Hotels-Transportation.html#accommodations

We invite attendees to suggest breakout sessions via the wiki:

Advisory Committee Meeting / Group Meeting Overlap
------------------------------------------

Group Meetings Schedule: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday:

 * 08:30-18:00: Traditional Group face-to-face meetings
 * 12:00-14:00: Lunch (each group will determine their lunch time)
 * 15:00-18:00: Unstructured time (for those groups that so choose)

Some groups have requested guidance on when to allocate Unstructured
time to break into parallel informal discussions within their groups,
for more cross-group conversation, or for more hallway conversation.

We encourage groups to have these informal discussions overlap the AC
meeting to minimize hard conflicts for AC reps, and we encourage all
groups to schedule their unstructured time at the same time, thus
creating more opportunities for interaction.

This year again we have scheduled the AC Meeting towards the end of the
day from 15:00 to 18:00 on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. We hope this
will minimize the likelihood of conflicts with group meetings.

AC Representatives who would also like unstructured time within their
Groups have the opportunity to use Monday and Friday and thus avoid
conflict with the AC meeting.

------------------------------------------
Remote participation
------------------------------------------

Working/Interest Groups may request telephone access for remote
participants. We plan to use MIT's webex system as we have done for the
past two AC Meetings.

If you plan to attend the Advisory Committee Meeting remotely, please
let us know on acregister@w3.org as the number of requests may play a
role in the level of service we provide.

IRC is available for all meetings.
