Participation fee waiver

We understand that not everyone can afford the TPAC registration fee
for a variety of reasons and we do not want any of these to be a
barrier to participation. For that reason, we make available an
unlimited number of fee waivers to remote and onsite participants. The
fee waiver operates on a trust basis, without checks on eligibility.
The fee waiver option is available in the registration form.

Health rules
---------------------------------------

As the health situation is changing rapidly, we are constantly looking
at guidance and trying to make decisions that can accommodate all of our attendees
and ensure a safe gathering. The safety of our attendees is a priority. The rules
now match the TPAC 2022 Health rules, as they appeared to be efficient
to keep the contamination to a very low level.

The full health rules can be found at:
https://www.w3.org/2023/09/TPAC/health
These rules cover masking requirements, covid testing requirements, our approach to dealing
with food service, among other topics.

We ask you to carefully read these. All TPAC participants
are expected to comply with the health & safety requirements.

For any questions please contactw3t-tpregister@w3.org  <mailto:w3t-tpregister@w3.org?Subject=Re%3A%20TPAC%202022%20registration%20now%20open&In-Reply-To=%3C13f20016-0849-8e15-e4cf-cd98c079fa1e%40w3.org%3E&References=%3C13f20016-0849-8e15-e4cf-cd98c079fa1e%40w3.org%3E>

Diversity Funds/Inclusion Fund

W3C has established a TPAC Inclusion Fund, sponsored this year by *W3C,
TetraLogical and an anonymous donor*, that aims
to help remove barriers for people from groups that are under-represented in the web community who want to attend or contribute to
TPAC in a meaningful way and who otherwise be unable to attend TPAC without financial help.

TPAC Inclusion Fund applications can be submitted until 15 July 2023.
Beneficiaries will be informed by 1 August 2023.

The full details are available at:
https://www.w3.org/2023/09/TPAC/registration.html#inclusion-fund
