[Time-sensitive] Request for COGA input by July 10th: Clear Language draft for WCAG 3

Hi, COGA folks, if you have time this week, we would greatly appreciate
your review of our Clear Language draft, which will be included in the next
Working Draft of WCAG 3 later this month.

*What to review*

   - Please review the June tab of the Clear Language draft
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q3eVdTVfErkeXMukdiNVRC1MgIDMv_2FrgJ_62silfE/edit?tab=t.nwuwc2hpudpt#heading=h.6j4ngyn01922>.
   (Ignore the other tabs.)
   - Start by reading the internal note near the top of the doc to help
   orient yourself.
      - The note also makes clear that some topics, such as white space and
      chunking, are not in our draft because they are being covered by
other WCAG
      3 subgroups.
   - Please focus in particular on these sections of our draft:
      - User needs
      <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q3eVdTVfErkeXMukdiNVRC1MgIDMv_2FrgJ_62silfE/edit?tab=t.nwuwc2hpudpt#heading=h.8q60xsgvq9ei>

      - Goal
      <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q3eVdTVfErkeXMukdiNVRC1MgIDMv_2FrgJ_62silfE/edit?tab=t.nwuwc2hpudpt#heading=h.z0bwtaq646s6>
      - Foundational requirements
      <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q3eVdTVfErkeXMukdiNVRC1MgIDMv_2FrgJ_62silfE/edit?tab=t.nwuwc2hpudpt#heading=h.8j2q4o25ldsu>
(The
      WCAG 3 template starts with short bulleted lists of the foundational and
      supplemental requirements. For details about each requirement, including
      testing and techniques, go to the Requirement List section
      <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q3eVdTVfErkeXMukdiNVRC1MgIDMv_2FrgJ_62silfE/edit?tab=t.nwuwc2hpudpt#heading=h.3lminjhwz9jp>
