Why is this important?
Inclusive recruitment means committing resources, policies, and outreach to bring diverse voices across disability and intersecting identities into standards development. It requires proactive, accessible, and relationship-based engagement, valuing lived experience alongside technical expertise, and ensuring no single voice is expected to represent an entire community.
