About the Inclusive Naming Initiative

The Inclusive Naming Initiative’s mission is to promote and facilitate replacing harmful and exclusionary language in information technology

Activities, Goals, and Deliverables

We’re looking to bring together a community of information technology organizations and professionals to collaboratively:

• Define processes for removing harmful and exclusionary language from software, APIs, standards, documentation, and other IT-related materials
• Develop resources and tools such as a comprehensive list of harmful terms and suggested replacements, language evaluation frameworks, templates, and guidance and best practice materials
• Recommend implementation paths for different use cases
• Provide tooling to measure implementation success
• Act as a platform for community recognition of organizations actively doing the work

Sound interesting?
