Trevor: didn't we have aria rules that were similar?

Wilco: these are useful, and might be good to have them linked

Aron: how would you group it? best practices?

Wilco: would AG be up for linking to them?

Kathy: will we look at these as critically as the rules we have requirements for?

Wilco: when we take these, we propose where to do cross linking. if we had a list of techniques or pages to link from, should that be added?
... list placed in background section
... find out where they go, open up pull request to add links to Background section. Karen?

Karen: Yes
