# initiatorNameComponents

The name of the person who initiates the collaboration.

```
var initiatorNameComponents: PersonNameComponents? { get set }
```

## Discussion

The app that initiates a collaboration sets the `initiatorNameComponents` to allow the user to confirm the components before the system begins the collaboration. The value of the components will not be transmitted to recipients, and is `nil` before the system initiates a collaboration.
