Re: ACTION-60: Put in informive links - missing aria, acag, coga, and they all external link

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.

Best,

Janina
