Hi all,
The online portion of the RFC Style Guide points to both the IESG
statement on inclusive language and the Wayback Machine copy of the NIST
guidelines:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language
The archived version of the NIST guidelines is stable and accessible,
and its contents are still valid. If the IESG identifies another
reference, the RFC Production Center can update the RFC Style Guide with
a new pointer.
The standard question that the RPC asks for all documents during AUTH48
is the following:
Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the online
Style Guide
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language>
and let us know if any changes are needed. Updates of this nature
typically result in more precise language, which is helpful for
readers.
Best regards,
Jean
RFC Production Center

I would send email back and suggest they update their email to point to
the IESG document.
