Dear Colleagues,

 

As many of you will recall the IEEE-SA Standards Board passed a resolution with respect to avoiding the use of non-inclusive and insensitive terminology in December 2020 <https://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/resolutions/>. More recently the IEEE-SA Standards Board approved the IEEE P3400 ‘Standard for Use of Inclusive Language in Technical Terminology and Communications’ PAR. I therefore wanted to make you aware of the first meeting of the IEEE P3400 Working Group as you may wish to attend or may wish to forward this information to your respective Standards Committees and Working Groups.

 

Best regards,

  David
