COGA guidance subgroup: Agenda + call info for October 30th (with time change reminder!)

Hi, folks, see below for key info, including a reminder about the time
change this week that affects people outside the U.S., thanks!

*Agenda*


   - Recap of October 23rd call: We aligned on:
      - New pattern title: “Clearly identify controls and their use
      <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uAVRkNIgd3XlUIGQ6Gq-ZOcnwsFvIM9UJ1dNyHq8NSQ/edit?pli=1&tab=t.ht1sood1wqs8>”
      is now “Ensure interactive elements (controls) look familiar, are easy to
      identify, and behave as expected.”
      - Putting personalization info at the end of “Key considerations”
   - Goal for October 30th call: Finish aligning on this pattern so we can
   send a CfC to the task force next week:
      - *1st item in “What to do”:* Align on Rain’s suggestion to include a
      few links in a call-out box instead of a longer wiki that will
be harder to
      update/keep current over time.
      - *3rd item in “What to do”:* Align on adding a placeholder sentence
      and editor’s note about a soon-to-be-published study that makes
clear there
      is a cognitive reason why we are overlapping with two WCAG 2.2 patterns
      about target size.
      - *Exception[s]:* Should the current exception remain in its current
      location or be moved higher up in the "What to do" section? And should we
      add another exception about security?
      - *Gareth suggested changes* to the illustrations and captions.

*Meeting day and time*

savings time this past weekend, but it is still in effect in the U.S. W3C
