SOMETHING YOU CAN PREPARE
A community-approved learning plan describing the audience, permitted materials, speaker review and access rules.

WHO DECIDES AND WHAT TO VERIFY
1. Ask which materials may be public, shared within a community or kept restricted. Do not infer a common rule across Nations.
2. Keep speaker expertise central and compensate work appropriately. A fluent-sounding model output may still be wrong.

REFLECTION
Will this project strengthen speakers and learners while leaving the community in control of its knowledge?
