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

Hi, COGA folks, thanks again to Lisa for your helpful comments. Len and I
overhauled our subgroup's draft and created a new streamlined version in
the July tab
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q3eVdTVfErkeXMukdiNVRC1MgIDMv_2FrgJ_62silfE/edit?tab=t.7qp43a3keop#heading=h.7crn40hv0nhj>
of our document. If COGA members have time, please review the July tab by
end of day tomorrow/Thursday and use margin comments to add your questions
and suggestions.

Please prioritize reviewing the requirements.

Please note: The testing and techniques will *not* be published in the next
working draft so no need to review them now.

Thanks again,
Julie
