The goal of Group meetings during a W3C TPAC is to gather the community together, to create momentum and collective brainstorming around challenges faced by the Web. The technical plenary is a set of collaborative meetings, bringing together W3C technical groups, the Advisory Board, the TAG and the Advisory Committee for exciting, coordinated work. The benefit of assembling the community for thought-provoking discussions is invaluable.

While W3C Groups meet throughout the year in a variety of ways (teleconference, Zoom, F2F), the annual TPAC plays a unique and special role in the annual calendar of a Group. What sets these meetings apart is that by having the Group together for 2 days (and also adjacent to many other groups), the Group can get done that which it cannot normally do - specifically (see below).

With the pandemic, many Groups did not meet for TPAC 2020, and other groups met briefly and did not fully achieve the full goals of a TPAC meeting. That has caused a deficit in meeting the special objectives that we previously have only been able to achieve through TPAC Group meetings.

In TPAC 2021, since we are still virtual, it will still be challenging to achieve all of the benefits of a physical meeting. But two years into virtual meetings, it is recommended that Groups try to get together to achieve some of these benefits. At a minimum they should consider doing an overview of the state of the Working Group and its deliverables, looking at big challenges ahead, where the priorities should be, and use a different agenda from your regular recurring meetings.
