Based on a recommendation from the MIPI Technical Steering Group (TSG), the MIPI Alliance Board of Directors late last year directed all working groups to initiate the replacement of offensive terms in MIPI specifications and supporting documents, to be completed by the end of 2022. While the primary examples were “master” and “slave,” the groups were also asked to identify any other problematic words, such as “blacklist” and ”whitelist” for example, and work to replace them within the same two-year period.
