    <https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/guideline-org/>
  * Discussion about Requiring vs. Encouraging

We discussed feedback from the COGA Clear Language subgroup on the 
Writing Process.  We did a deep dive into the goals for the Process for 
Writing Guidelines using Maturity Levels 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zW-UubALQOCokCoLnIuQrnGNKLm2uHi36S8yhAojrIE/> 
and have tentatively agreed to change the fourth goal to "Define 
guidance and methods that are clear and understandable.  The methods 
make it easier to implement and meet the guidelines."

We worked on the Error Guideline Exploratory Content 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jtZaUzLi-jgmGdAypRUeJPzVz_ZUpMO0wdOrORiuO7w/> 
drawing heavily from the work that was done by the Errors subgroup in 
2021. We discussed the level of detail that the Errors subgroup did and 
realized that it was not necessary for every guideline, but is an 
excellent example of how we can approach guidelines that have no 
research, because in essence, the Errors group did the research needed. 
We updated the Process for Writing Guidelines using Maturity Levels 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zW-UubALQOCokCoLnIuQrnGNKLm2uHi36S8yhAojrIE/> 
to reflect that change. It needs more editorial work to make it easier 
to understand, but that will be done asynchronously. We accepted the 
work on User Needs and will start working on Tests next week.
