Full Text Resolution:
This resolution calls upon the ownership and committees to collaborate in designing an overhaul to the racial system, to be proposed and discussed in person at the 2025 Owner Symposium. Such a system should prioritize the following:
- Inclusivity and Gender Neutrality: Ensure that racial requirements are standardized and accessible to all players, removing gendered or restrictive requirements that limit expression of identity and diversity.
- Cultural Sensitivity and Awareness: Eliminate elements with potential cultural or racial insensitivity, avoiding representations that may evoke real-world stereotypes or offensive imagery.
- Flexibility and Accessibility: Allow players greater flexibility in meeting racial requirements, offering options that enable creative expression without restrictive physical features that may be difficult or uncomfortable for some players.
- Player Continuity and Immersion: Minimize disruption to existing characters, encouraging a system that respects established player investment while opening doors for new approaches to character representation.
