<p>TPAC 2008: 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, 22 October, 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> [W3C Member
|
|
access]).</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
|
|
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>

<p><a href="http://www.nice.aeroport.fr/include/default.asp?l=2">Nice
|
|
International Airport</a> is the closest international airport to the meeting
|
|
site. The Pullman Cannes Mandelieu Royal Casino is located about 20 miles
|
|
from the airport. The travel time between the airport and the hotel (meeting
|
|
site) will vary between 30 minutes to one hour depending on traffic
|
|
conditions. <a
|
|
href="http://www.nice.aeroport.fr/acces_stationnement_en/taxi/default.asp">Taxi</a>
|
|
fares will range between 70-80 Euros.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Please Note: All events will take place at the hotel. There is a small
|
|
harbor village nearby and Cannes croisette is a 5 minute cab ride.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>By car:</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are renting a car at the airport, please take the highway A8 to the
|
|
West, in the direction of Cannes and Aix en Provence. This is a toll road.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Pass both the Cannes and Cannes La Bocca exits, to Exit 40, Mandelieu La
|
|
Napoule. As you exit, you will take an obligatory right turn after ~100M, and
|
|
then, shortly thereafter, turn right again at the traffic signal. Continue on
|
|
that road until it ends at a T intersection. Turn Left. Now proceed to the
|
|
end of that road at a golf course, just after a small bridge over the river
|
|
La Siagne. Turn Right. Proceed with the golf course on your left. In ~100M,
|
|
when you see a road on your right and a road on the left going up, take the
|
|
road going up on the left for about 10 meters to a T. You will see the water
|
|
front here. Turn Right. The hotel is on your left: proceed about 50M, until
|
|
you can turn left into the entrance of the hotel.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>By train:</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are using the railways note that there is a train station
|
|
"Mandelieu La Napoule" but that not all trains stop there. The nearest train
|
|
station where all trains stop is "Cannes".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A <a
|
|
href="http://www.nice.aeroport.fr/acces_stationnement/trains/trafic_r.asp">shuttle
|
|
bus</a> is available from Terminal 1 of Nice Airport and stops near the Nice
|
|
Saint-Augustin train stations (Bus line 23, every 12 minutes during the
|
|
week). One ticket costs 1 Euro.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>* If you take an omnibus (TER (Transport Express Régional), they do stop
|
|
at every station, including "Mandelieu La Napoule"), you have to walk (10
|
|
minutes) in the direction of Mandelieu castle (should be right in front of
|
|
station, or quite near) and then straight ahead down the hill, pass the
|
|
harbor and onto the Pullman Cannes Mandelieu Royal Casino which is on the
|
|
seaside.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>* If you take a rapid train (they only stop in main stations), exit at
|
|
"Cannes". From there you will find cabs.</p>
