(click to show/hide)I believe that the sneak released 1st chapter stated that all signatories will be sending representatives

(click to show/hide)Just said “Every major power is coming to the meeting" not that absolutely every signatory would be there. I suspect we would not see all the Independents, for example, or those like the Jade Court that are actively committed to non-involvement.

Other factions might watch or attend, but simply not officially. They could have unofficial envoys, to act sub rosa.

Eh, I dont really see that happening, attendance on the sly I mean. Either they are interested enough to attend and participate by the rules, or else they abstain from the proceedings. Id view that sort of sneaking around to be a Disrespect to the Accords, which Mab would not tolerate.

Hospitality has nothing to do with the Accords.
Hospitality is a very old-world social custom. Think of it in terms of a gentleman holding open a door for a lady or pulling her chair out - not belching in public, etc.
The Accords, on the other hand is an organization, described iirc as similar to NATO, a sort of mutual protection treaty. Members aren't supposed to have conflict with one another, but terms of the Accords provide a conduit for arbitrating any conflicts that do arise as well as providing certain forms of punishment/discipline when it does happen (reparations payments and the like are one we know of).

I don't know. The Accords seem to have a rather bureaucratic element to them, so I could see something similar to the Robert's Rules of Order and Parliamentary Procedure in play, meaning one group could offer another group their proxy. That way they can avoid attendance without offense because they followed the rules. Just surmise, mind, but as complex as any treaty/contract is likely to be - particularly one created by a high-ranking Fae - I can't help but see work-arounds like that being common.
