*[Time-sensitive] Action item*
Please vote by end-of-day today on the 3 general issues that the Thursday
group aligned on last week and that Lisa shared with the task force for
voting on April 16th:

   -

   Issue G1: Please adjust 3.1.1 - the definitions of core and
   supplemental, so WCAG is more equitable.
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLkvaCNxpk1xJ-yuyTWciizRe3GkGWPc-3yu6ZJLIqg/edit?tab=t.xhbqn69zszr5#heading=h.893gyvzag5qf>
   -

   Issue G2: Assertions should be core or supplemental.
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLkvaCNxpk1xJ-yuyTWciizRe3GkGWPc-3yu6ZJLIqg/edit?tab=t.xhbqn69zszr5#heading=h.97qbn8g09194>
   -

   Issue G3: Assertions are too long and hard to follow. Please replace
   the  text of how to write an assertion, with a link.
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLkvaCNxpk1xJ-yuyTWciizRe3GkGWPc-3yu6ZJLIqg/edit?tab=t.xhbqn69zszr5#heading=h.luspgrq7hf>
