feedback on the deck that we will present at Wednesday's breakout session,

Hi, folks, Lisa is at a family event today, so I'm sending this agenda for
tomorrow's research subgroup meeting. See you all soon, thanks!

*Agenda*

   - Go through COGA's breakout session deck
   <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hy0iPkqWKxN_8xI5UIAWPk7We9nk44DDb618pzDQzOw/edit?slide=id.g3960f0fbf47_0_87#slide=id.g3960f0fbf47_0_87>
   to prep for Wednesday's presentation (which is at the same time of day as
   tomorrow/Tuesday's prep session).
   - See below for time zone details.


*Three questions for the group*

   - *Slide #1 for each research module:* Is everyone OK with the way I'm
   suggesting we use the "Example Challenge" section?
      - When we came up with the template, I assumed our goal with the
      "Example Challenge" header was to highlight one of the challenges in the
      "Challenges" section of the research modules. See the 1st Voice Systems
      slide as an example.
      - If we want to go in a different direction, we can rename that part
      of the slide "User story" which is similar to the "User needs" section
      lower down on the 1st slide for each module.
   - *Slide #2 for each research module:* Are we OK with using a couple
   emojis to provide visual interest?
      - See the 2nd Voice Systems slide
      <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hy0iPkqWKxN_8xI5UIAWPk7We9nk44DDb618pzDQzOw/edit?slide=id.g3d77c28622c_5_10#slide=id.g3d77c28622c_5_10>
      as an example. Or do people prefer larger illustrations, like the ones on
      the 2nd Indoor Navigation slide
      <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hy0iPkqWKxN_8xI5UIAWPk7We9nk44DDb618pzDQzOw/edit?slide=id.g3d07afee7c4_0_17#slide=id.g3d07afee7c4_0_17>
      ?
      - If we want to carve out room for larger visuals, we may need to
      trim some text so the slides don't feel crowded overall.
   - "Relevant to other inclusion work": The 2nd slide for each module
   includes a callout to WCAG 3 sections and other projects.
      - Do we as a group agree that this part of the slide should serve as
      an area to flag possible collaboration opportunities?
      - Do we agree we should prioritize current or recent projects and
      deprioritize projects that are several years old and/or whose
charters have
      expired?
      - Or should we use this space as something akin to a references
      section?

*Meeting day/time*

   - Tuesday, March 24th
   - 9am Boston
   - 3pm Israel
   - 6:30pm India
