What was the intent of Motion 14 passed at WSC 2023?

The intent of Motion 14, passed at WSC 2023, was to create a project plan for investigating language inclusivity. This reflects a broader commitment to ensuring that language used within the organization is welcoming and inclusive for all members, fostering an environment that respects diverse backgrounds and beliefs. By designing a project plan, the intention is to conduct a thorough investigation into how language can be adapted to better serve the community, rather than implementing immediate changes or enforcing strict regulations. Such an approach allows for a thoughtful and collaborative process that considers various perspectives before making significant adjustments to language practices. This type of proactive planning is essential for fostering inclusivity and engaging members in a meaningful dialogue about language and its impact.
