COGA: Action items, summary, and minutes for March 2nd meeting

Hi, folks, below are two action items as well as a summary and minutes for
yesterday's COGA meeting.

I'm also including details about the next COGA Review of WCAG 3 meeting.
These weekly meetings are just getting started, and it would be great to
get more COGA members involved in this review.

And last but not least, thank you to Eric for scribing yesterday!

*Action items*

   - *Everyone: *Please fill out this WCAG 3 review scheduling survey
   <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xibMhwgS1l4101QmtNjM3ZCLF0TNTa_hh2HDzf919z4/edit?gid=0#gid=0>
   to let us know which of the two start times on Thursdays work better for
   you.
      - We'd like as many COGA folks as possible to attend the first hour
      of COGA's WCAG 3 review sessions (and hopefully part or all of
the working
      sessions immediately afterward).
      - COGA will likely take a few months to do this holistic review of
      WCAG 3, so these Thursday meetings are likely to continue through May or
      June.
      - Please note: The survey now includes details on how the upcoming
      change in daylight savings will affect meeting times for folks
outside the
      US.
      - *Deadline to complete this survey:* End-of-day March 4th.
         - For the March 5th meeting, we will stick with the 10am ET start
         time and discuss whether the survey results suggest moving
the start time
         for future weeks.
      - *COGA's WCAG 3 section reviewers:* If you already signed up to take
   the lead in reviewing a section of WCAG 3, please add your email
   address[es] to the "COGA members contact info" section
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLkvaCNxpk1xJ-yuyTWciizRe3GkGWPc-3yu6ZJLIqg/edit?pli=1&tab=t.uggxirp4slpc#heading=h.sllvpovoqb86>
in
   our review planning doc so that other COGA members can reach out and try to
   partner with you on this work.


*Summary of COGA's March 2nd meeting*

*Daylight savings*

   - Clocks change in the US on March 8th, but don't change in the UK, EU,
   and Israel until the end of the month.
   - W3C meetings are pegged to Boston time in the U.S.
   - For folks outside the U.S., please pay close attention to the start
   times in W3C calendar invites and COGA agenda emails for the weeks of March
   9th, 16th, and 23rd.

*WCAG 3 scheduling survey *

   - As detailed in the "Action items" section of this email, we want
   everyone to fill out this WCAG 3 scheduling survey
   <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xibMhwgS1l4101QmtNjM3ZCLF0TNTa_hh2HDzf919z4/edit?gid=0#gid=0>
by
   end-of-day March 4th.

*WCAG 3 working draft: Overview for COGA*

   - Julie presented this overview deck
   <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XtRTBHt4YGkwpjVFMinyIPsefjGzXLn2WXC-rYss-qg/edit?slide=id.p#slide=id.p>,
   which includes background on WCAG 3 and important structural details,
   including how some logically related provisions are split up into different
   sections.
   - Please read the deck before you start to review a section of WCAG 3.
   Understanding how WCAG 3 is structured will be especially helpful as we
   review each section to think about which COGA user needs aren't being
   addressed yet.
   - We recorded the deck presentation, but I need help from our W3C staff
   member liaison to locate where it is stored in the cloud. (I was hoping I'd
   have the video ready to share by now, but alas, I do not.)
