Introduce the idea of inclusivity in language, why it matters, identify and talk through some of the well-known examples (master/slave, blacklist/whitelist), and look at the tools from inclusivenaming.org for re-use/adoption or pointers-to. That is, if the Inclusive Naming Initiative (INI) creates an evaluation criteria for evaluating language decisions (inclusivenaming/org#23) and it's licensed appropriately, then we can adopt the same tool directly into the guide as a downstream redistribution. But we also want to point projects at all the resources that INI is providing.
