Hiya,

In general I support this.

I think it's a mistake to craft or point at a curated
list of bad terms as I've said before but I seem to be
in the rough on that, which is ok.

One related nit though:

The "will" there seems wrong. Even if the WG does
identity a perfect external resource for this, that
resource could disappear or become lots less perfect
over time.

Maybe s/will identify and recommend/will consider and
potentially recommend/ or something like that?

Cheers,
S.
