ACTION: item: Please look at the unassigned sections and put your name by the section that you want to review next

We'll use next week (May 28th) to discuss some of the sections that have been partly reviewed but still need to align on some of the draft issues.

Aligning on the draft GitHub issues for the "Help and Feedback" section

Link to GitHub issues for Help and Feedback section: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLkvaCNxpk1xJ-yuyTWciizRe3GkGWPc-3yu6ZJLIqg/edit?pli=1&tab=t.uubdkgkddw8k

1. “Consistent help available” needs to factor in logical placement

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLkvaCNxpk1xJ-yuyTWciizRe3GkGWPc-3yu6ZJLIqg/edit?pli=1&tab=t.uubdkgkddw8k#heading=h.5anudf7995bl

We discussed changing this draft to focus on the next provision, "Contextual help available," which currently does not talk about logical placement of the contextual help.

Len noted we do not have an easy or defined way to talk about proximity.

We noted that there is already a draft github issue in the works for the "Error handling" section about the need to improve WCAG 3's definition of "visually colocated"

FYI, the Error Handling draft issue about the definition of "visual colocation" "Issue 4: Two big concerns about Is Error messages collocated." Here is the link to that draft github issue: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jLkvaCNxpk1xJ-yuyTWciizRe3GkGWPc-3yu6ZJLIqg/edit?pli=1&tab=t.5gxd4veirbbq#heading=h.pqp8dn50v0p6"

We aligned and voted on several issues and will come back to an overarching issue about what's missing in this section.

We will resume discussion of these GitHub issues on June 4th.
