Public meetings in Wales The Commission does not normally hold meetings open to the general public. When that is the case we will ensure that a simultaneous translation service from Welsh to English is available at the meeting, and we will orally inform those present in Welsh that they are welcome to use the Welsh language, and that a simultaneous translation service is available. However, we regularly hold conferences and events in Wales which are by invitation only and which are open to interested people in different sectors and different parts of Wales. Invitations for such events will be sent out in Welsh and English. When we invite key speakers to speak at such a meeting or event that we have arranged which is open to the public we will, when appropriate, ask each person invited to speak whether he or she wishes to use the Welsh language. If at least one of those persons informs us that he or she wishes to use the Welsh language at the meeting, we will provide a simultaneous translation service from Welsh to English for that purpose. At such events, when at least 10% of the people that have registered an interest to attend have informed us that they wish to use the Welsh language at the event, we will provide a simultaneous translation service from Welsh to English for that purpose and we will orally inform those present in Welsh that they are welcome to use the Welsh language, and that a simultaneous translation service is available. When we display any written material at such a meeting we will ensure that the material is displayed in Welsh and in English, both versions will be equal with regard to size, prominence and quality. When we fund at least 50% of a public event, we will ensure that, in promoting the event, all publicity and advertising material for such event will be equal with regard to size, prominence and quality. All services offered to persons attending the event will be
