Review minimal measures chapter
Issue for editorial board to add notes from minimal measures review. Feel free to attach PRs to fixs with this issue number.
I don't know what the ** means in Ensuring your conference has easily accessible gender-neutral restrooms is a simple way to help non-binary and trans individuals feel included and welcome at your conference.**
I've also suggested a bunch of edits in https://github.com/numfocus/DISCOVER-Cookbook/pull/323
Yes @danielskatz you're right — the ** doesn't serve any purpose there and seems to be a formatting mistake. I've removed it. Please review my PR. Thanks Chehak
Hello Team, I noticed that the guide currently suggests that quiet rooms can double as prayer spaces. I believe this could unintentionally create a conflict between the needs of attendees who require silence for sensory or emotional regulation, and those who need a space to pray — which may involve sound or movement.
Also, some attendees may not feel comfortable sharing a quiet space with visible religious activity. Others may avoid prayer entirely if the only available space is occupied or silent-only.
To address this, I have created a PR #339 that: • Clarifies that quiet rooms should remain silent, low-stimulation spaces • Recommends offering a separate, clearly labeled prayer room or ‘Quiet areas’ in the venue if possible
The goal is to support both needs respectfully, without forcing them to overlap.
Happy to iterate based on feedback!

I realise that we would need to also update 04_venue_selection.md to reflect this change. I am happy to take this on too. I welcome your thoughts.
