Re: WCAG 2.x backlog meeting this Friday: usual agenda (with links to top drafted issues/PRs)

Apologies for the late regrets.
We had to abandon an important errand yesterday due be stuck behind a bus fire (!) for three hours.  We weren’t even close enough to see smoke, so as dull as possible.  (And it turns out it there was a but fire very nearly the same place the day before!  No one was hurt either day.)
We are going to rerun the errand now.
Cheers,
Bruce

> If you're after a fairly low risk activity, there's oodles of unanswered questions in https://github.com/w3c/wcag/discussions?discussions_q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aunanswered ... many of those are very straightforward questions that can be answered fairly easily. Others may, during the course of the discussion, actually surface some problems in understanding/techniques that we can then tackle more directly with issues/PRs.
