John is correct. The ARIA references would serve no direct purpose. Let me remind us of a little of the history here. In the charter updates of 2015 PF was split into two new working groups, ARIA and APA. At the same time Indie-UI was not renewed, but it's worked assigned to a Personalization TF under ARIA. By the next charter renewal cycle in 2018 we realized Personalization really didn't belong in ARIA after all; so that TF was moved under APA. There's more that can be said on the history, but that's the simple version.
