The repetition of the word "diversity" grates on my prose composition nerves, but if others are ok with it, I'm not going to argue. :) > Draft scope > > The RIPE Diversity Task Force agrees to: > > - Review and report on the current state of RIPE Meeting diversity > - Identify key areas of action and delegate to the appropriate people > (either community volunteers or the RIPE NCC) > - Evaluate on the efficacy of the actions taken > - Report progress on action points via RIPE web sites, the RIPE > Diversity mailing list and RIPE Meetings > - Work with the RIPE NCC to gather diversity metrics for benchmarking > purposes > > NEW: - Hold meetings that are open to everyone > - Maintain a work plan / list of actions > ^^^ do we want to add this?? for transparency / accountability reasons I think we should say this, yes. Our BoF (and I think I'm still the only candidate for moderator?) in Dubai is one of these meetings. We're not saying all our meetings are open to everyone, but I have no problem with open meetings as long as everyone is respectful and constructive. I think we should (and are) maintain that work plan. > Timeline > > Although "increasing diversities" is a continuing activity, the > effectiveness of the TF will be evaluated during at RIPE 79, to > ascertain it is still serving its purpose. Argh, I do think I prefer "increasing diversity" because it makes more sense to me, sorry. I think pushing this out to 79 is sensible. Gives us two years. > More comments? Thank you again for all your work on this!
