The Responsible Metaverse Alliance (RMA) is an international movement dedicated to supporting the development of the metaverse so that it is handled responsibly from a perspective of design, deployment, safety, culture, operations and function.The RMA will focus on the ethical, transparent, and acceptable uses of metaverse platforms and related technologies in a manner consistent with: 1) participant/user expectations, 2) participant/user well-being and safety, 3) organisational values, 4) diversity and inclusion and 5) societal laws and norms.The Charter for the RMA has four key pillars:1. Responsible Metaverse Practices Develop best practices for designers, artists, creators and suppliers to the metaverse. This guidance goes to the social norms and behaviours that impact the culture of the metaverse and does not involve government regulation.2. Metaverse Platform RegulationAdvise on/develop protocols, guidelines, standards, regulations and laws for the metaverse platforms.3. Bridging of worldsRecommend key factors to consider in bridging relationships between, 1) the virtual worlds, 2) the digital world, and 3) the physical world so that they all work together in the best interests of humanity. The RMA will support continued efforts to ensure interoperability between the virtual worlds themselves.4. Ensure inclusiveness in the metaverseDevelop guidelines to ensure that the design of the metaverse is done with diversity and inclusion at its core. We support key industry players to ensure that the metaverse is widely accessible, especially to underserved communities. The RMA was conceived by a group of experienced technologists, ethicists and human rights experts. Whilst acknowledging some significant benefits the metaverse may bring, we hold deep concerns related to the negative impact the metaverse might have on certain people and sectors, in particular women, children and the vulnerable.
