<p>TPAC 2007: the Combined Technical Plenary / Advisory Committee meetings
|
|
week brings together W3C Working and Interest Groups, the Advisory Board, the
|
|
TAG and the Advisory Committee for an exciting week of coordinated work. The
|
|
highlight of the week is the Plenary Day, Wednesday, 7 November, for all to
|
|
attend.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a id="Participation1" name="Participation1">Participation</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Participation in the Technical Plenary is open to participants in good
|
|
standing in a W3C Working or Interest Group, Advisory Committee
|
|
Representatives, the TAG, the Advisory Board, Offices staff or Team.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Participation in the All Group Meetings is subject to <strong>each group's
|
|
observer and confidentiality policies</strong>. Please contact the WG or IG
|
|
Chair for information about participation policy (see <a
|
|
href="/Member/Mail/">Member-only Chair contact information</a>).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Participation in the Advisory Committee Meeting is open to one Advisory
|
|
Committee representative from each Member Organization. The TAG, the Advisory
|
|
Board, Chairs, Offices staff and Team members are also encouraged to attend.
|
|
From section <a
|
|
href="/2003/06/Process-20030618/organization.html#ACMeetings">2.1.3.2</a> of
|
|
the Process Document:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Each Member organization SHOULD send one representative to each Advisory
|
|
Committee meeting. In exceptional circumstances (e.g., during a period of
|
|
transition between representatives from an organization), the meeting Chair
|
|
[CEO, Steve Bratt] MAY allow a Member organization to send two
|
|
representatives to a meeting.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>Further, we announced in February 2007 that if an Advisory Committee
|
|
Representative cannot attend the meeting an alternative may be sent
|
|
instead.</p>

<h2>Background</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>In 2005, W3C CEO Steve Bratt initiated discussions with AC representatives
|
|
and Chairs on options for rearranging our annual calendar of big meetings in
|
|
order to increase the <strong>value</strong> of these meetings. The resulting
|
|
<a href="/2005/08/10-bigcal.html">plan</a> was to hold a joint TP/AC Week
|
|
around November of each year.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Benefits we hope to encourage by co-locating the meetings include: more AC
|
|
reps attending the AC meeting, more AC reps attending or observing group
|
|
meetings and participating in the Technical Plenary Day, all participants
|
|
benefiting from an expanded level of interaction and that members with
|
|
representatives who are Chairs or are in Groups, the AB or the TAG would be
|
|
able save time and travel costs by reducing the number of meetings each
|
|
year.</p>
