RE: Agenda: March 12, 2015 WAI-PF ARIA Caucus

Due to another appointment at that time, I won't be able to attend the meeting on Thursday, however I would like to comment on the following agenda topic for the record.

> - Discuss Janina's ask to group whether to leave sign off on the ARIA in HTML to the HTML WG

Personally, if the HTML publication is to also include guidance relating to ARIA, I think it should involve the PFWG simply to ensure that we are all on the same page and that conflicting guidance isn't accidentally introduced during the process.
