Attached is info about a proposed new plan for Technical Plenary meetings (which, to date, has been the only time the XML Core WG meets f2f). Summary of the proposal: * A usual TP week last week of Feb 2006 in Cannes. * The next TP week would be in November of 2007, and then each November after that. * Starting in Nov 2007, the TP week would include an embedded half day AC meeting (Thursday morning), but WGs would not meet then--instead, the WG meetings for the second half of the week would be Thursday afternoon, all day Friday, and Saturday morning. See pointers below for more info, and feel free to share any thoughts within the WG (and Norm and I will carry them back). paul -----Original Message----- From: chairs-request@w3.org [mailto:chairs-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Steve Bratt Sent: Thursday, 2005 August 25 13:37 To: chairs@w3.org Subject: Final feelback sought on joint Technical Plenary/AC Meetings week by 9 September Dear Chairs, In June, we initiated a discussion [1] with the AC representatives and Chairs on options for reorganizing our annual calendar of big meetings in order to increase the value of these meetings for Members. The most significant element of the proposal, and the most logistically complex, was the concept for a joint TP/AC Week to be held around November of each year, starting in 2007. 74% of the respondents to a survey [2] that we issued strongly or very strongly supported (scored 4 or 5 on a scale of 5) the proposal to hold an AC Meeting in conjunction with the Technical Plenary Week. However, there was no strong consensus around any of the proposed schedules of activities within this TP/AC Week. Very few Chairs responded to the original survey. Since the TP week is mainly focused around W3C's Working and Interest Groups, I would like to ensure that the benefits of any changes to this week outweigh the costs for you and your Groups. Based on significant input, a revised proposal for the TP/AC Week is now available [3]. Please review, with your Groups if possible, the section containing the revised schedule for the week, plus additional questions ... http://www.w3.org/2005/08/10-bigcal.html#Revised For those wishing to provide input on this revised proposal, please send it to this list by Friday 9 September. I hope that shortly after that we can finalize our overall Big Meetings Calendar, try this new configuration for a year or two, and then make any necessary adjustments based on experience.
