Hi Paul,

 

As you will see below, the IEEE P3400 Inclusive Language Working Group Secretary has asked everybody on the IEEE P3400 reflector to pass along the Standards Association balloting group formation announcement for the IEEE P3400 ‘Standard for Use of Inclusive Language in Technical Terminology and Communications’ project <https://standards.ieee.org/ieee/3400/10852/> to colleagues. I’m not sure if you are on the IEEE P3400 reflector, but perhaps you can forward this announcement to the IEEE 802 LMSC reflector, asking Chairs to forward it to their reflectors, if you think that is appropriate.

 

Thanks, and best regards,

 David
