Reminder: Thursday, November 14, 2024 - COGA Internationalization Subgroup Call

Hi everyone,

Our next COGA Internationalization Subgroup meeting is this Thursday,
November 14, 2024. This will be a working meeting where the majority of our
time will be spent going through the Internationalization (i18n) Working
Group guidance and trying to identify references that may apply to COGA
patterns. The Internationalization Accessibility Community Group
(global-inclusion) has been assigned homework to review patterns in
objectives 1, 2, and 5, so those are the objectives we will address during
