Hi, folks, below is the summary of yesterday's Clear Language meeting and a list of upcoming meetings. Also, apologies for the lack of minutes. I thought I could share out the closed-caption transcript, but I did something wrong and my Zoom account did not save the transcript. Next time, we'll stick with the usual plan of enlisting a scribe. March 6 Clear Language meeting summary - Attended: Julie, Jeanne, Becca, Jan, Santina, John K., Abbey - Doc we're working on: Clear Language working draft (2023) <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JKJ32DK_A82ahsQ_k0RVPc-ZYpX5uuKtuGOLdo2OqyY/edit?usp=sharing> - Common Words conditional test by language: - We built this out using the test we drafted for Clear Languageās TPAC 2022 presentation, on Slide 17 <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Tve0g7pRufB5iShWwstwrfGdDtbn8YdsHEyN7Coj1vU/edit#slide=id.g149ba793bb8_6_11> . - All present at the March 6 meeting agreed to exclude reading level from this because it is not a good measure of how easy text is to understand. - We also discussed setting an upper limit (such as the 10,000 most common words in English) to pass the Common Words test and establishing ranges for the pass/better/exemplary scoring levels. - After the meeting, Julie added a resource (that was included in our TPAC presentation) that can help build out word-frequency lists in many languages. - Plain-language assertion: - Jeanne asked us to develop an assertion that a plain-language review was conducted. - We will draft this assertion soon and mentioned to Jeanne that it will overlap with some Clear Language tests, like common words and sentence structure. *Upcoming Clear Language meetings* - Monday, March 13th, at 2pm ET (Rescheduling because of CSUN; I'll update the calendar invite as soon as we settle on a new day/time) - Thursday, March 23rd, at 11 am ET (during the regular COGA subgroup meeting time) - Wednesday, April 5th, at 1pm ET - Wednesday, April 12th, at 2pm ET Thanks, Julie -- Julie Rawe Associate Director, Editorial Strategy E: jrawe@understood.org Pronounced "raw" (like "uncooked") She | her
