Hi all, On the hrpc-list [0] there has been an intense conversation which was spurred by the news that the Python community removed Master/Slave terminology from its programming language [1]. In the discussion that followed it was remarked that in RFCs terms like Master/Slave, blacklist/whitelist, man-in-middle, and other terminology that is offensive to some people and groups is quite common. This is not a discussion that can be resolved in hrpc, but rather should be dealt with in the IETF community (because hrpc doesn't make policy for terminology in the IETF), which is why I am posting this here. If people find the discussion worthwhile, we might also be just in time to request a BoF on this topic. Looking forward to discuss. Best, Niels [0] https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/hrpc/ [1] https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/8x7akv/masterslave-terminology-was-removed-from-python-programming-language -- Niels ten Oever Researcher and PhD Candidate Datactive Research Group University of Amsterdam PGP fingerprint 2458 0B70 5C4A FD8A 9488 643A 0ED8 3F3A 468A C8B3
