What do the identifiers in the Nondiscrimination section NOT include?

The identifiers in the Nondiscrimination section focus on clarifying the terms used to ensure that the principles of nondiscrimination are upheld in various practices. These identifiers typically involve mandates that require adherence (requirements), specify what is forbidden (prohibition), and outline conditions under which exceptions can be made (exemptions).

However, recommendations do not fit into these identifiers. A recommendation suggests a course of action without imposing a binding requirement, meaning it lacks the force of law or policy. In the context of nondiscrimination, their purpose is to create enforceable standards rather than suggest optional best practices. Thus, while prohibitions, requirements, and exemptions all serve to delineate clear, enforceable measures to prevent discrimination, recommendations remain non-mandatory and are thereby excluded from this specific set of identifiers.
