------------------------------------------
Plenary Day 2017 (Unconference)
------------------------------------------

Plenary Day 2017 consists of unconference breakouts for TPAC participants.
   https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2017

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.

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/Business Groups may request telephone access for remote 
participants. We plan to use MIT's webex system as we have done for the 
past few 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 will be available for all meetings.
