Dear Chairs,
[please forward this to all Group participants]
AC Representatives, TAG and AB,

The Technical Plenary Program Committee* has prepared a near-final agenda for the Technical Plenary Day (Wednesday 1 March) which we hope you will find stimulating ...

- http://www.w3.org/2006/03/01-TechPlenAgenda.html

Included in the agenda are the following sessions:

- My Data, Your Data, The Web's Data: Challenges of Data Ownership
- Microformats
- SQL, XQuery and SPARQL: What's Wrong with this Picture?
- The Grid: What is the Grid and Why Does it Matter to W3C?
- Adventures in Formal Methods
- Rich Web Application Backplane
... plus the ever popular "Lightning Talks" sessions
(details within the program will be updated throughout the first half of February)

For those still undecided about whether or not to attend, this agenda should help you to make a final decision. 

Two other requests for those who will attend any of the TP Week events [1]:

1. Please register as soon as possible ...
