<h2 id="Participation">Participation Policies and Recommendations</h2>

<p>The following participation policies and recommendations are intended to
promote participation while ensuring that meeting chairs have the tools
necessary to run their meetings effectively.</p>

<h3>Plenary Participation</h3>

<p>Participation in the Technical Plenary is open to participants in good
standing in a W3C Working, Interest or Incubator Group, Advisory Committee
Representatives, the TAG, the Advisory Board, Offices staff or Team.</p>

<h3>Group Meeting Participation</h3>

<p>You <strong>must</strong> be a participant in a W3C Working Group, Interest
Group or Incubator Group, the Advisory Committee Representative of a W3C Member
organization, a member of the TAG, AB, Offices staff or Team or an Invited
Guest in order to be eligible to register for and attend these meetings.</p>

<h4>Group Meeting Observers</h4>

<p>Anyone eligible as described above may request multiple meetings to observe
provided there is an attendance checkbox. Observer attendance is at the Chair's
discretion. The Chair will inform you if admission is granted. Chairs have wide
latitude to grant or reject requests based on space considerations,
confidentiality, and the ability to conduct the business of the group. Please
contact the WG or IG Chair for information about participation policy (see <a
href="http://www.w3.org/Member/Mail/">Member-only Chair contact
information</a>).</p>

<p><strong>Suggestion:</strong> Secure permission to attend a meeting as an
observer before making any travel plans.</p>

<h3>Advisory Committee Discussion Session Participation</h3>

<p>Participation in the Tuesday and Thursday portions of the Advisory Committee
Meeting is open to one Advisory Committee representative from each Member
Organization. If an Advisory Committee Representative cannot attend the meeting
an alternative may be sent instead. See <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2003/06/Process-20030618/organization.html#ACMeetings">section
2.1.3.2</a> of the Process Document for more information about Member
participation.</p>

<p>The TAG, the Advisory Board, Chairs, Offices staff and Team members are also
encouraged to attend the AC discussion sessions.</p>

<h3>Advisory Committee Meeting and Dinner Attendance</h3>

<p>These events are open only to a limited group: one AC representative per
organization, Group Chairs, AB, TAG, Offices staff and Team. </p>

<h2 id="Registration">Registration and Registration Fees</h2>

<p>Registration is a two-step process:</p>
<ol>
  <li>Completing the <a
    href="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35125/TPAC2010reg/">Registration
    form</a>. Chairs, please see the Member-visible <a
    href="http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35125/TPAC2010reg/registrants">Registration
    List by Groups</a>.</li>
  <li>Paying a <a href="#fees">registration fee</a> via a <a
    href="#paysystem">payment system</a></li>
</ol>

<p>We will accept walk-ins, space-permitting. We reserve the right to refuse
walk-ins if we believe it will have a negative impact on meeting space or
meals. We strongly advise people against making flight arrangements if they
have not already registered.</p>

<h3 id="fees">Registration and Walk-In Fees</h3>

<p>A daily fee helps W3C offset the cost of these meetings. The fee applies to
anyone who is attending meetings, whether as a participant or as an observer,
Monday through Friday. However, if you are an AC Rep and on Tuesday you plan to
attend only the dinner (and not the afternoon session), you do not need to pay
the fee for Tuesday. </p>

<p>The <strong>per person, per day fees</strong> are as follows:</p>
<ul>
  <li>€40 until the close of registration 26 October 2010</li>
  <li>€120 after 26 October 2010 (for walk-ins)</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Practical note:</strong> To simplify the collections procedure, we
encourage you also to complete payment by the registration close date. In
practice, we are likely to charge more for any payment made after the close of
registration, then process refunds for those who, in fact, registered on
time.</p>

<h3 id="paysystem">Payment System</h3>

<p>Payments are processed through a <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2010/11/tpac_reg.php">payment system</a>. If payment
was successful, you will receive a receipt.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> We use PayPal for collecting registration payments,
but <strong>you do not need a PayPal account</strong> to use the payment
system. PayPal accepts major credit cards.</p>

<p>If you have problems with the registration payment page, contact <a
href="mailto:w3t-tpregister@w3.org">w3t-tpregister@w3.org</a>.</p>

<h3>Cancellation and Refund Policy</h3>
<ol>
  <li>Cancellations and requests for refunds must be received by <strong>17:00
    ET on 26 October 2010.</strong> Refund requests will not be honored after
    that time.</li>
  <li>Refunds are subject to a <strong>€12 service charge</strong>.</li>
  <li>Contact <a href="mailto:w3t-tpregister@w3.org">w3t-tpregister</a> to
    cancel your registration and request a refund.</li>
</ol>

<h2 id="GroupSchedule">Schedule at a glance</h2>

<p id="overlap"><strong>Note:</strong> In order to avoid groups having to meet
on Saturday, the Advisory Committee meeting will take place in parallel with
groups on Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning. We recognize that there may
be a scheduling conflict between a Group Meeting and the Tuesday and Thursday
AC sessions. We apologize for any inconvenience, and encourage people to favor
the AC session. Please consider arranging the agenda of your
Working/Interest/Incubator Group meeting accordingly.</p>
