Become a participant in the task force

Joining the COGA Task Force enables you to participate fully in the development of the work and influence the deliverables. You and your organization will also be listed as contributors, where appropriate.

Being a participant involves commitment to support the work of the task force in the following ways:

Engage actively in the work using the task force’s communication channels.
Keep up with weekly tasks and the progress of the work — for example, via the minutes of past meetings, mailing list discussions, and GitHub issue comments.
Give your input promptly, when it’s needed.

To become a participant in the COGA Task Force, you must first be a member of one of the working groups the task force supports:

AG Working Group — see Instructions for joining the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group
APA Working Group — see Instructions for joining the Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group

Once you are a member of either the AG or APA working groups, email the W3C staff contact for the COGA Task Force to let them know you’d like to join the task force.

Note: As a participant in one of the AG or APA working groups’ task forces, you can choose to focus your time exclusively on the task force deliverables and you do not have to contribute to the working group’s other activities.
