Re: Call for images for Content Usable

Hello,

At the meeting today, we reviewed this language and made one change. We
changed "Selected artwork will credit the artist (this needs W3C specific
legal language)." to "Artists whose work is selected will be included in
the contributors list." We then approved this language.

Please review the final language located on the wiki page
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/coga/wiki/Image_language> and let us
know by tomorrow at noon EST if you have any concerns.  Otherwise, we will
be using it going forward.

Kind regards,

Rachael
