[11: 06am] kirkwood: LS: link to AG partipants can check if you are a member or inited expert.

<lisa> Reach out to the Advisory Committee (AC) representative for your organization. Your organization's AC representative needs to approve and submit you as a representative to the new group. Note: This can occasionally take time (particularly when an organization has a new AC representative), so we suggest starting the conversation with your AC representative sooner rather than later.

DS: ok

<lisa> next item

LS: we need to learn to get it right from each other

DS: will go to rqtf and APA and will report back

LS sounds good

LS: we can carry on going through proposals for mental health

LS: current poposal for COGA link

LS: we talked about COGA not sure how to handle, too many colors for example in a pattern to look at it more. what would be a good pattern about it

DS: need guidance for use of color rather than specific colors

DS: for example suggesting red for example is difficult

JK: i’m unsure about color in mental health bucket

LS: research stage working memory , doesn’t matter, only use hwo help making real, this will help people with these functional imparisment, then we give an example
… how it helps we first talk about impairments
… David do you want to help

JK; put together a google doc share between david

DS: next proposal is tricky, recognition this and proposal 6 presentaion of seach results, limit links displayed, customize presentation of links including foun size, specific use case for these
… think suggestion was to add as an example. is that going too far?

<lisa> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eKNrofGubnpQE6mO-vxmI-1MW5nA2LDj0LxebREPRGA/edit?resourcekey#gid=1686096268

LS: i go back to the research document. 11-50 partiipants

[link to research document above]

LS: going through reseach document saying that less links was better in proposal said could be new pattern or support simplification. allow less items on page.
… but we also have provide search

DS: it seems niche because we already have something related to seach

DS: except maybe shopping limit to 30 results etc

LS: think it was proble not knowing how to do search terms.

<lisa> add to 4.3.6 Provide Search (Pattern) including boolian instuctions, , reducing itmes, or catagrins, foging terms

<lisa> +1

<lisa> albert +1, but needs more discusion

Abbey: navigatin ecommertcce. ocd is about completion, have to scroll for all options before purchase. i open 50 tabs for one term search

Albert: what help is to have a filter based on price, reviews, that actually works

Albert: those kind of things help me

Albert: can give guidance for accessibile serach pattern

LS: also to find

JK: to reduce number of results

Alberty: yes

Albert: also reduce results if you put in quotes get exact result for example, a lot more filters help narrow down faster, more efficiently

Albert: in search, it will search in accordance it filters and give suggestions to help narrow down, which is very helpful to narrow down

Albert: not knowing term exactly, assisted search to help find, really helps. if term without much background knowledge

LS: assist user to find what want, with new ranges, options, etc. put into propsed pattern changes
