Interop testing

Mark and Paul

I have some questions regarding the likely w3c procedure for the interop 
testing scheduled for November:

1. Is this likely to be going to be f2f testing or will participants 
simply publish remote endpoints?
2. If the procedure is likely to be that the participants publish remote 
endpoints (without need for meeting), what sort of timescale is usually 
expected for this testing phase?  For example, would participants have a 
few weeks to run tests and resolve problems or would the interop be more 
intense - such as a week focussed on problem resolution and testing?

Many thanks
Katy
