We are about to launch an audit of plain language use at the commission to evaluate our progress in adopting plain language in our various forms and practices. We will then take the results of that audit and use them to develop a half-day refresher course that all staff will take in November.

We are continuing to develop our Plain Language mentors, including establishing discussion threads on our staff web that they can use to share experiences and develop ideas about helping employees to use plain language in their work.
