Good news for COGA: W3C breakout session tomorrow on "well-known destinations"

Hi, COGA folks, Janina just shared good news about some work that COGA has
played a significant role in:

As part of W3C's Breakouts Day 2025
<https://www.w3.org/2025/03/breakouts-day-2025/>, APA's WAI-Adapt group
will have a breakout session tomorrow on simplifying site navigation
to well-known destinations.

   - APA's goal is to make it predictable from site to site where to find
   well-known destinations such as "Sign in," "Accessibility statement," etc.
   - APA has decided these do not require new markup—existing markup is
   sufficient, but content developers need to start using it.
   - The breakout session will include discussion of open challenges
   identified by COGA regarding the clear presentation of destination types.
      - For example, a help resource may be categorized as a “Virtual
      Advisor,” “Email Helpline,” or “Call Support.” The goal is to ensure that
      users can simply understand the nature of each option and set accurate
      expectations before engagement.
   - If possible, it's good to attend the meeting because participants can
   ask questions. The meeting will also be recorded.
