TPAC inclusion fund

<MichaelC> https://www.w3.org/2023/09/TPAC/registration.html#inclusion-fund

<MichaelC> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2023AprJun/0073.html

MichaelC: The inclusion fund is intended to remove barriers from underrepresented groups. Can cover a number of costs associated with contributing to TPAC and participating in-person.

tzviya: Positive work environment group put this together. Not a lot of people apply. So apply, even if you don't think you'd get it. Encourage others to apply.

Matt King: High level objective is increasing participating?

tzviya: Goal is to increase diverse membership. Need to update the text about the fund, as it isn't completely updated.

MichaelC: Heard that in-person ability to participate can help also the person be more involved in W3C..

tzviya: There's also a link for sponsors.

MichaelC: If anyone wants to sponsor, the more sponsors we have, the more effective we can be in increasing diverse participation.

Project check-ins

MichaelC: Asked if anyone had any input or questions about the projects.
… no one responded or had anything, so we can close this call for this week.

matt king: Why does this meeting not show up on W3C calendar?

<jamesn> +1 Matt I wish it would

MichaelC: Because it only shows certain types of groups and WAICC isn't one of those types of groups.
… I've been trying to figure out how to work around that bug.
