Re: times for tomorrow's coga call

Regrets for today, but I wanted to point out two things that were discussed
in the Internationalization Accessibility Community Group related to the
Structure work. The group unanimously agreed that that infinitive form is
the best for international concerns. Please see the vote from the IRC
minutes:

When discussing the pattern - we are seeing a preference for using the
infinitive form (e.g. Do ____ to help users do ____). In the 1.1.1 example,
the group prefers Option A.

<Jan> +1

<Philipp> *1

<andy> +1

<Frankie> +1

<JStro> +1

<Philipp> +1

<chiace> +1

Secondly, there are some notes about names and the use of "legal" first
name. The group said to avoid "legal" if at all possible. Here's a list of
possible recommendations, but the consensus was that name fields should
come with instructions so that people will know what to do. Also, it is
helpful if only one name field is required because not everyone has a
first, middle, and last name. Here's the list from the IRC minutes
<https://www.w3.org/2025/03/12-global-inclusion-minutes.html> from Andy:

(1) Free form - let them put in their preferred name
(2) Legal name is absolutely necessary in whatever order they want - all
one field
(3) Legal forced into pattern of first/last. Also provide a field for
preferred name so that you always refer to people by their preferred name.
