5 October 2021
1.	Setting up meeting, choosing scribe
2.	Use of the term "landmark" was confusing. It means different things for different people. Proposal:
*	visual aspects included in Module 1: "Visual Design" -> Topic: "Cues"
<https://wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/visual-design/>  -- No use of "landmark", instead "cues" and
"headings" to define page regions
*	programmatic aspects included in Module 2: "Information Design" -> Topic "Text and Structure"
<https://wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/information-design/>  -- use of "landmarks" related to page regions
and sections.
3.	Cover of Media Players Design <https://wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/multimedia-and-animations/>  --
Current proposed messaging:
*	be aware of the issues associated to accessibility support
*	choose existing players where possible
*	if you cannot choose existing, then follow guidance to design your own
4.	"Description" terminology <https://wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/multimedia-and-animations/>  --
according to EOWG decision, we will have:
*	"description of visual information" in first occurrence and intro for Topic "Alternatives to Multimedia Content"
<https://wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/multimedia-and-animations/> 
*	"description" throughout
5.	Proposal: no module for custom widgets. Instead, covered in module Interaction Design
<https://wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/interaction-design> . Rationale:
*	concept of custom widgets is much more related to developers (standard versus non-standard coding practices)
*	design is more related to art, everything is meant to be unique
