Re: Mobile A11y Task Force Agenda April 4 - unusual instructions

Thanks Jonathan, Andrew,

Jonathan,  if you could add a note to this effect to the wiki I think 
that will take care of the Flash sections. Best place is probably right 
after the instructions on the Flash techniques 
page:https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Flash_Techniques

Many thanks,
Kim
