Diversity & Inclusion

The Metaverse Standards Forum was created to help leading Standards Organizations and Companies cooperate to foster interoperability standards for an Open Metaverse for the benefit and enablement of the wider community. As an organization designed by the industry, for the industry— it is crucial for Metaverse Standards Forum to promote a fair and honest culture that is not reliant on any one company and incorporates a breadth of experience from multiple perspectives. Metaverse Standards Forum is committed to bring diverse teams together to promote different views, gain a wide range of ideas, and ensure all voices are heard equally.

Metaverse Standards Forum is committed to identifying ways we can improve diversity and inclusion by creating programs to make members and developers of all backgrounds feel welcomed, and equally treated.

INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE

The Metaverse Standards Forum Inclusive Language Guidelines is a list of terms to avoid in specifications or common use. These terms may have been used in discriminatory contexts that make people feel uncomfortable or be divisive. Metaverse Standards Forum strives to be an inclusive organization and finding common language is an important part of that. We ask all members to be aware and strive to use inclusive language.

ACCESSIBILITY AND ACCOMMODATIONS POLICY

Our approach to accessibility and accommodations is to work to ensure that our spaces are safe and welcoming to everybody. Accommodations we provide are not focused on just accessibility, instead aiming beyond that to make sure that you feel safe and comfortable in any space we provide. Every person is a complex individual with their own needs, and we aim to accommodate people, not labels.
