[Time-sensitive] COGA folks, please thumbs-up 3 statements in GitHub by 10am ET tomorrow/Tuesday

Hi, COGA folks, W3C's Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AG) is
starting the process to renew its 2-year charter. To move forward, we need
your quick support.

What to do
Please give a thumbs-up on three key requirements that AG would need to
complete in the next two years. We want AG to promise to do these things!


   - Why this matters to COGA: The links below use my shorter wording to
   highlight why these requirements are especially relevant to COGA's work.
   You can read the full versions in GitHub.
   - What to ignore: You’ll see some placeholders in GitHub that say
   “[Define by Date and Example Date]” — ignore those phrases. They’ll be
   filled in later. Right now, we’re just asking you to support the main ideas.

Deadline

   - Please try to add your thumbs-up *by the end of today*.
   - If that’s not possible, please add your thumbs-up *by 10am ET tomorrow*.

   1. Allow assertions and conditional requirements in WCAG 3.
   <https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/discussions/306#discussioncomment-13051762>
(Important
   for our plain-language work.)
   2. Do a plain language review of WCAG 3 guidelines and its informative
   documents before publication.
   <https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/discussions/306#discussioncomment-13052012>
    (Helps ensure WCAG 3 will be easy to understand.)
   3. Use a scoring mechanism that encourages organizations to go beyond
   base conformance.
   <https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/discussions/306#discussioncomment-13052024>
   (Important because some COGA-inspired parts of WCAG 3 may be assertions or
   supplemental requirements, and we want a system that encourages users to do
   more than just meet foundational requirements.)

   Lisa shared GitHub log-in instructions during today’s COGA meeting, but
   the minutes aren’t available yet. Hopefully the 19 May minutes will be
   added to this page
   <https://www.w3.org/WAI/about/groups/task-forces/coga/minutes/> soon.

Thanks so much for your help!
